I really like Jon Stewart. His very real outrage at the inability to get legislation passed to benefit 9/11 responders was so genuine.

And that's the kind of crap that frustrates me with the right. I am very lucky to be in one of those higher income brackets. (No kids and I married a smart man ) Although at the time he was a lance corporal in the Marines.

Why do we need tax breaks? Is there something I'm missing?

Maybe I feel this way because we didn't always have money. The welfare my mother received enabled me to become the person I am today. Maybe people who have always had money, don't "get it."
