Compassionate Conservatism my @$$!

I was already against the tax cut that Congress passed and the pResident signed last week, but now I am just pissed off. The one redeeming element of this tax cut was an increase in the child tax credit that was to give about $400 back to families with children. Well, during committee negotiations in the congress, a provision to give this tax break to minimum-wage earning families ($10,500 to $26,625 per year) was dropped. So now the families who need the money the most aren't going to receive it. You can read the details in this NY Times article or without registration via Yahoo.
