Poll Reveals Most Americans Don't Know They Got a Tax Cut

"We cut taxes for 95 percent of working families. We cut taxes for small businesses. We cut taxes for first-time homebuyers. We cut taxes for parents trying to care for their children. We cut taxes for 8 million Americans paying for college."

yes, there are a lot of stupid people out there.

No wonder people are confused.. who can sort this stuff out. Small Business, 95% of working Americans get a tax cut..

But they jimmy these numbers every week for a "story"..
