I’m not talking about using the money for condoms & clean needles…i’m talking taking the strain off the middle class. taxes are going to go up, period… i just think that giving the breaks to the rich & big business @ this point in time is not the way. Why wouldn’t it create jobs? The rich don’t go over seas. The wealthy do ! --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/taxes-the-election-and-you/200054)._
