Look at all the people here having their old roof replaced using a loophole and we are paying for that too. I paid for my own old roof, it was the responsible thing to do. It all evens out in the end and we all know the rich pay less taxes than the poor.

Apples and oranges.
One was allowing people to keep some of THEIR money and maybe then they can hire Johnny and he can pay his own student loans.
The other one is confiscating some more of OUR money to pay off someone else’s responsibility.
Proven fact that every time taxes have been reduced revenue to the government has gone up. Want less of something , tax it. Unfortunately, politicians of both stripes, take that as their clue to spend more money and this is another example of that.
And, “we all don’t know that”. The rich pay far more of the total taxes in this country than poor people. Never got a pay check from a poor person.
