Sure, my taxes went down a few hundred dollars, but my rent went through the room - it tripled in the last six years. (And considering I went from a 1BR apartment to a 12 x 12 room in a house with nine people, I became WAY worse off.) So I ended up worse off after the Bush tax cuts than I was before the Bush tax cuts. I earn minimum wage and I pay federal income taxes. If 40% are paying ZERO income taxes, why am I paying more than the 40% who are paying nothing? p.s. as someone who was uninsured for decades (until I got sick and qualified for Medicaid and Medicare), I think McCain's plan is better. It's about time people getting employer-paid insurance pay taxes on it and the uninsured stop subsidizing it. The Bush tax cuts didn’t do anything for me.
