You just misunderstood my statement.

2018-03-10 20:17:40 UTC  

Yes.

2018-03-10 20:18:00 UTC  

Those tax credits gave the wealthy more power and the poor less power.

2018-03-10 20:18:06 UTC  

You just admitted its helped the poor, just not solelu

2018-03-10 20:18:19 UTC  

I will clarify everything that I'm saying in one sentence.

2018-03-10 20:18:21 UTC  

Not all tax credits are the same.

2018-03-10 20:18:25 UTC  

Dude

2018-03-10 20:18:36 UTC  

Government has yet to, in modern history, directly help the poor.

2018-03-10 20:18:40 UTC  

You cant just add contradictory statements

2018-03-10 20:18:51 UTC  

It's elaborating and clarifying, not contradicting.

2018-03-10 20:18:58 UTC  

Low income tax credits are added independently of others

2018-03-10 20:19:32 UTC  

It's all part of one movement.

2018-03-10 20:19:37 UTC  

Look i get what youre saying, but you have to admit that the statement you made about never helping the poor is wrong

2018-03-10 20:19:40 UTC  

Tax credits in general.

2018-03-10 20:19:50 UTC  

Never *solely* helping the poor is a different argument

2018-03-10 20:19:54 UTC  

Big business and wealthy people benefitted much more than low income families.

2018-03-10 20:19:55 UTC  

.

2018-03-10 20:20:00 UTC  

oof semantical arguments

2018-03-10 20:20:04 UTC  

Exchange solely for directly.

2018-03-10 20:20:10 UTC  

Theres no reason to talk about tax credits in general

2018-03-10 20:20:18 UTC  

Government has never made an effort to directly help the people.

2018-03-10 20:20:20 UTC  

I specifically said low income tax credits

2018-03-10 20:20:39 UTC  

You forget about the high income tax credits.

2018-03-10 20:20:45 UTC  

No i dont

2018-03-10 20:20:51 UTC  

It's all part of one movement/system.

2018-03-10 20:20:59 UTC  

But i only need to provide a counterexample to your argument

2018-03-10 20:21:03 UTC  

No, it isnt

2018-03-10 20:21:18 UTC  

If the wealthy, who are the problem, are getting more out of it than the people...that means it did not solely or directly benefit the people.

2018-03-10 20:21:38 UTC  

You can have tax credirs for low income without those for the wealthy, but politicians are bought by the wealthy

2018-03-10 20:21:46 UTC  

No shit.

2018-03-10 20:21:50 UTC  

That's my overall point.

2018-03-10 20:22:03 UTC  

Governments make many decisions, some can help the rich, some can help the poor, some help both, some screw both

2018-03-10 20:22:06 UTC  

Government is nothing more than an extension of the oppressing wealthy/ruling class.

2018-03-10 20:22:08 UTC  

And its not all one movement

2018-03-10 20:22:17 UTC  

This is exactly why a revolution is absolutely necessary.

2018-03-10 20:22:32 UTC  

By voting for the right people, you can at least steer it in a better direction

2018-03-10 20:22:33 UTC  

Corruption is strangling the people.

2018-03-10 20:22:49 UTC  

Vote for which wealthy person exactly?

2018-03-10 20:22:55 UTC  

You're making many different points at once, most of which i already agree with

2018-03-10 20:23:10 UTC  

I just dont like the view that government cant be used to help poor people
