The "I got screwed by the Republiscum's failure to renew the Making Work Pay tax credit" thread.

Willard Romney only pays 14% taxes and we can't even get a lousy few hundred dollar tax credit.
It's galling to say the least.

Check in here if you got screwed as well.

If you were filthy rich you wouldn't be in this predicament. My advice is to get rich. That will take care of this problem.

dumped MWP in favor of 2% payroll tax reduction.

For people making under $20K this was a tax increase.

Gotta raise taxes on the people who make the least!
It's the new American way.

I...fortunately...can cut the check...but there are millions I'm sure who will have to cut corners on food, shelter and clothing while the fat cats gorge themselves. It really pisses me off. This is not America.

I've seen it time and again. EIC doesn't give them much relief, and for some reason not enough is being withheld from their paychecks. It creates quite the burden.
