What do these people have in common: a teacher who buys a prom dress for her student; a teacher who buys crayons and pencils for her students; a teacher who buys packages of paper for his students; my mom, who calls me and says, ``Don't cut my Medicare. Don't let them cut my Medicare''; the person who has a heart attack or is paying hard-earned money for his or her cancer treatment? None of those people will be able to write off their medical expenses or their educational expenses. My mom and other seniors will see a $25 billion cut in Medicare. What they have in common is that this tax scam will hurt all of them, as opposed to the folks who are the richest among us. The corporations who are doing very, very well, they will see the tax benefits. This is not a tax plan, it is a tax scam, and our people that we serve deserve better. ____________________
