Democrats like tax cuts, too, but the Democratic Party's tax policies are targeted to do the most good for the majority of Americans. Working families will be the beneficiaries of the Democratic tax policy. Republicans want tax cuts which give more to the have-mores. Tax cuts for the rich are luxury toys, but tax cuts for working families are absolute necessities. Working families need more child care tax credits. Working families need tuition tax credits to help their children attend college and rise up the economic ladder. Let the corporations pay more taxes if we need revenue for the war in Iraq or any other activity. Change the Federal rules for the way we charge for our assets, grazing land, mining rights or the sale and lease of the spectrum above us, which is owned by the American people. Democrats want tax cuts, but we want tax cuts for working families.
