I don't understand my congressman. He is opposed to the tax cut legislation now being debated in congress because its not a permanent change in the tax laws that would make the Bush era tax cuts the final word on taxation for some time to come. The wealthy are going to get a $ 60,000 to $ 70,000 refund from the federal government this year and Garrett says he wants them to have more. He is also opposed to the legislation because it will provide unemployment benefits to fellow Americans who can't find work; benefits that will provide just enough money to put some food on the table or pay the rent. It seems he only wants to help those who don't need help in the first place and generally have nothing good to say about the federal government. Does he have no sense of humanity? Isn't the role of government to help those in need; to protect the "general welfare". I also don't understand my congressional district that has returned him to office time and again.
