BIDEN: Standing up for the poor

| April 4, 2021 1:00 AM

Tax cuts for the rich and elites along with corporate are not acceptable. They all made so much money during COVID, taking advantage of underpaid workers who are the backbone of our country, yet stimulus was almost unheard of for our essential workers both working and drawing unemployment.

Which does what? — builds up businesses for the rich, elite and corporate who’ve made as I said so much off of COVID, tax cuts, and daily backbone workers. If the workers took a month off, these people would be crying because though the business may be theirs, we the people do the necessary work for pittance and no benefits. Now tell me, what’s wrong with this picture?

Biden tried to help, giving cuts and breaks to working class of all forms, especially those with families to help us get out of poverty yet our state favors the rich, elite and corporate. So unacceptable. Help those of us who need a hand up by giving us livable wages, benefits and I say universal health care for all. Instead you’d rather keep us in poverty, dying in the streets while keeping us with no jobs or unlivable wages.

It’s time for a change and that change needs to be: Give the people who need it the tax cuts and make the rich pay their own taxes.
