obama-180.jpgObama proposes U.S. middle-class tax relief plan

Obama’s tax plan, set to be announced in a speech in Washington, includes a cut of up to $1,000 for working families, a mortgage interest credit for low- and middle-income homeowners and the elimination of income taxes for seniors making less than $50,000 per year

Your article talks about tax cuts for “working families.”  I work every day but the tax cuts will not apply to me, in fact I will probably get a tax increase from the Democrats. I am offended by the code words “working families.” It is time you used the correct term in your reporting. Why do you not do this?

“Working families” isn’t a great description under the circumstances; we’re discussing a better one for future stories: GBU Editor
