If you think "tax breaks" are only for people who pay taxes, you need to do some research. There are millions of people in this country who don't pay a penny in taxes but get a check from the IRS every year for "earned income tax credits"

If you think I don't know the difference between tax breaks and welfare, you should maybe look through my post history.

Just because the left tries to change what words mean doesn't mean we have to use them. Tax breaks are tax breaks and welfare is welfare, and this is a tax break for people that pay taxes and welfare for those that don't.

The only reason I'm personally okay with it is because the government itself has been the cause of so many middle class and poorer people losing their jobs. Those people didn't quit because they didn't feel like working, the government told them to fuck off and stay home, so I'm okay with the government providing assistance.

What I'm not okay with is the government doing so while also still spending the same as it has in the past (which I'm not okay with in the first place anyway). We need to be cutting money from federal budgets to find the money for these checks, not just taking on more debt and devaluing our currency.
