I really hate how these Republicans hide the fine print. I work my arse off to support my wife who stays at home with my 5 children, and I make a good living(over $200k....i am in sales). The child credit is meaningless to me at this point, and I have to worry about the AMT as well.

What is the point in working hard when so much of it is taken away?


I am pissed.
