Like flies on poop, it doesn’t take scammers long to figure a way to rip off people when there is a new change in the tax rules.

It still has a long way to go before becoming reality; but it’s great to see them tackling this issue already. The hysteria from the opponents of repeal is already taking on the tone of their never-ending class warfare that was used in opposition to the recent tax cuts. Although I’m sure many of these people don’t realize it, they are essentially defending the policies of Karl Marx when they fight to allow the government to redistribute people’s wealth after they die.

Tax Credit Windfall Provokes Conservatives – It looks like some people can’t stomach the idea of calling a welfare payment a tax credit. Obviously not the politically correct way to look at this issue.

The news has been pretty good lately for average taxpayers
