	<htmltext>Republicans tax poor people by eliminating social services? Since when is NOT gifting charity to the recipients suddenly a tax?  By what right should the government gift them anything while forcing others to pay for it?  You really call the decision to discontinue charity as a tax?

"... giving tax breaks to the people who don't need them<nobr> <wbr></nobr>..." - Spoken like a true Marxist. Need as defined by who?  What the heck does need have to do with it?  Just because someone manages to acquire, without committing a crime, more than another person they should be forced to give it up?  By what right should the government take from one person and give to another when no theft or other crime has been committed?

"Democrats tax rich people to pay for social services for poor people." - just plain wrong.  Democrats tax anyone who makes anything and wastes most of it on operating the government, sending a small percentage of the budgeted money to the recipients. They just do it under the "from those who have more than they need to those who don't" argument.  I'll ask again, how do you decide when someone has more than they "need"?  Who's the determiner?  Why should those people be punished for success by having the fruits of their efforts taken from them?</htmltext>
