Tax cuts = less government moolah. Years ago it was a good thing when the middle class was thriving. Now it's just a sneaky way to pass austerity cuts while crying poverty from these tax cuts. They giveth and then taketh away

Tax cuts are government based, while income inequality is mostly corporate and billionaire based. Higher minimum wages increase the government moolah so what will the Congress critters do about social cuts then?

Either we are going to obtain income equality by forcing these filthy corporations and billionaires to share the wealth or we are going to ignore the corporate welfare and use OUR tax money for all of US.

Hence, Bernie vs Hills.
