You know, when Republicans try and cut taxes, they are accused by the Democrats of "stealing money from the poor." This is apparently based on the postulate that "smaller government revenues = stealing money from the poor."

Yet if that postulate is held consistently, aren't Democrats who utilize tax write-offs also stealing from the poor?

Democrats are always talking about the immorality of tax cuts... aren't they actually breaking their own moral code by stealing money from the poor via tax write-offs?

Ugggg. I may dislike all of the involved players, but this is a non-issue.

This whole "stealing from the poor" body of rhetoric is logically inconsistent. By definition the poor have little or nothing, so what's to "steal"? If anybody, its should be "the rich" who are targets of the thieves. They've got something someone can steal. If your going to go through the trouble of stealing, why not make it worth your while and steal something from somone who's got something?

So I guess its the Rats who are really the ones doing the stealing, since they with their class warfare and all want to go after "the rich". So the Rats are the real thieves, but we knew that already.
