Republicans Actually Floating Platform of Lowering Taxes on Superrich, Raising Them on Lower Incomes

Normally I can read a news story and provide some reasonable perspective to give further context. But this just leaves me speechless:

Senate Republicans will press this week to extend tax cuts for affluent families scheduled to expire Jan. 1, but the same Republican tax plan would allow a series of tax cuts for the working poor and the middle class to end next year.

 Surprise--Surprise--NOT!!!! After all, The Middle Class Is The Back Bone of Society. Families matter not only because that is where the next generation come from, but also, because there is nothing a parent would not do for their children. It is for our children that we are willing to work the extra hours to buy them what they need and sometimes even what they want. It is for our children that we sometimes call off work to go to their schools, but then work over-time to make up the pay. After all, we are parents--Our Children Matter.
