Barbara Boxer: “Tax cuts for the middle class are one thing. Tax cuts for the people who earn a million dollars a year are another…”

“Tax cuts for the middle class are one thing. Tax cuts for the people who earn a million dollars a year are another thing. People who are earning $1 million a year don't want to see this tax. They are going to get back $50,000 a year for every year. That is more than twice as much as a person earning minimum wage gets. A person earning $20,000 or $30,000 a year gets back $150 a year. I am all for focusing on the people who need it--people who tell me, I am doing fine. I want to make sure there is no crime. I want cops on the street--a program the administration has cut. I want to make sure children don't get in trouble after school, which my friend knows has been one of my priorities. The fact is, after the President signed the education bill with great flourish, he has flat-lined afterschool.”
