I read this in my local paper this morning in the letters to the editor section. Spend your new found money on cell phone plans and candy!

"People struggle to pay their bills"

"Don't use the tax break to pay your bills"

Sounds legit.

I'm slightly amused that they're conflating earnings with income.  Your earnings haven't changed at all...you just get to keep a little more of it.
