If you like your tax cuts, you can keep your tax cuts
Unless you are a millionaire
You target the wealthy in your raise taxes schemes but it is always the Middle Class that feels the hit. Here’s why: liberal tax plans need to classify Middle Class as “part of the wealthy”. The true wealthy can take the hit and the poor don’t pay taxes. The root cause of this is cause liberals refuse to cut spending. You never will yet you will cling to the class warfare as justification.
Wrong again
It was the Republicans who insisted on one tax bracket to include upper middle class and the wealthy
Liberals refuse to cut spending?
When have Conservatives ever cut spending?
We have close to a trillion dollar deficit, where is the Tea Party?
Show us where Republicans insisted on Middle Class and wealthy are the same bracket? Further, I am referring to the entire Middle Class. What are Liberals going to do to reward the Middle Class while punishing the wealthy?
Relieve them of the costs of food stamps, Medicaid and Section 8, which are currently being paid to minimum wage workers for corporations that pay their executives 8 figure salaries, but pay their workers minimum wage, and then declare them "management" so they can work them 60 hours a week without paying overtime.
Trump rolled back the regulation which would have required any worker making less than $45,000 a year to be paid overtime, regardless of their status as "management" or "hourly rated". He took that raise away from minimum wage workers.
Shortly after Obama's re-election, Walmart posted the second highest profits in America, and the shareholders got a healthy dividend. But while Walmart was celebrating this record, every taxpayer in America contributed to the cost of the food stamps, MedicAid, and earned income credits which allowed Walmart employees to survive on their $7 an hour. It was being reported that Walmart workers received $6 billion dollars in social program benefits.

Walmart, McDonald’s tops in Ohio for employees on food stamps
Since earned income credits, food stamps, and MedicAid are all based on poverty level wages, raising the minimum wage to $15 an hour wipes out most of the need for these programs.
Every jurisdiction which has raised the minimum wage to $15 an hour, has seen a decrease in poverty, and an increase in hiring. All of the dire predictions of job losses have failed to materialize. In fact, the local economies are thriving.
They Said Seattle’s Higher Base Pay Would Hurt Workers. Why Did They Flip?
So what would the Democrats do for the Middle Class? Stop making them subsidize wages for the wealthiest people in America. Force these people to pay their own damn workers a fair, living wages. These corporations are sitting on the largest profits in their history and are awash in cash after the Trump tax cuts.
Trump promised every worker in America a $4000 raise from those tax cuts. The corporations rewarded their shareholders with buy-backs and dividends. Fewer than 10% of workers saw any benefit from Trump's corporate tax cut.
Democrats would eliminate eligibility from social programs for full time workers, and make corporations raise real worker pay for the first time in 40 years.
