Oh, yea, a rap video is pandering, but promising to give voters somebody else's money is not? It's a tragic time we live in. I could give a d';m what he paid in taxes. What did that worthless skunk Steve Cohen pay in taxes? BTW, Frayserboi is way right...the EIC should be abolished.

tsktsk what are you afraid of? Is it any different than folks taking a pre-printed guide into the voting booth. Both are meant to influence ones vote. Allow folks to decide on their own. Also the comment on big refunds means that a a person is paying to many taxes on a weekly basis. Lower your dependents and use your own money weekly, on each paycheck. A "Flat Use Tax" would be the most fair form of taxation on all folks. But that is for another time and discussion.

The earned income "credit" needs to be abolished.....when someone pays NO taxes and recieves a check for several thousand dollars, something is rotten in Denmark! And as for tax brackets, they should be the same for everyone.....

Political pandering... In past elections they it tried with black candidates and they're trying to use our genre of music. It's shameless. Think about it, people. What does he really stand for? What did he pay in taxes last year? Is he paying a lower tax bracket than you? Is he willing to stand behind the Romney-Paul policy of eliminating tax breaks (which could include Earned Income Credit - no more big refunds!!!)? The House of Representatives makes budget and taxation decisions. Vote based on how that will effect you and your family, not a random rap song.
