Words mean something. I wondered about the absurd expressions "Most of the tax cuts GO TO the rich" and "Tax cuts COST the government." Many low income people who get taxpayer funded checks every month just might believe that the rich get much bigger checks than they do. The fact that "the rich" provide them their checks does not compute. Republicans are really stupid for not interrupting every time the above two expressions are used.

Also consider this: -

Almost every salaried taxpayer operates under the system where the government takes part of every paycheck and sends some of it back in one lump sum every spring or summer. For far too many people this is an acceptable situation - the 'big' refund they get is treated like a bonus of sorts.

I bet a lot of even these workers think that the "rich" are just getting a much bigger check than they are getting!
