They are calling them tax cuts for low income people because if they called it “Giving cash to poor people we know will just spend it quickly” is harder to sell to the rest of the population.

Obama has learned early teh Clinton trick of abusing language to sell his programs.

A government giveaway that is run via the IRS to people too poor to pay income taxes is “a tax cut for working families”.

Obama-socialism is now marketed like Reaganomics, even though its the exact opposite. (The key is that Reagan cut marginal tax rates, while this increases marginal tax rates).

Reagan is rolling in his grave.
