[QUOTE="MAKAVELI, post: 1054147, member: 43825"] The same reasoning as the republicans have for taking from the middle class and poor. To help pay down the national debt. The only way to get the debt down is a combination of cuts and taxes. I know it's the popular thing these days to come down on the poor for accepting public assistance but who are you to judge if you haven't been in their shoes. Sure there are people that take advantage of the system but there are a lot that truly need the help just to survive. Not everyone lives in a perfect lilly white town with white picket fences where opportunity is abound. There are a lot of urban parts of the country where the crime and violence is the normal everyday life. Non of these people are living " the good life" off the government. My mother was on section 8 when I was a kid not because she was lazy and didn't want to work but because she was a single parent raising 2 children and working full time and needed the help so we could have a roof over our head and food to eat. And the apartments that accepted sec 8 were definitely not the nicest places to live putting it mildly. When she got a good job she got off of sec 8 and moved into a nicer part of town. The truth is anyone of us hardworking folk could be in that position and as proud as anyone is they would accept the help if it meant to eat or not to eat or have a place to live or stay in a shelter. Do you really think giving more tax breaks to the rich that they will turn around and be so generous to invest that money into the economy and " create jobs"? I think we have been down that road before and it doesn't work. [/QUOTE]
