Republican budget is immoral

So says Jim Wallis, the above will "roll back tax credits for the poor to help fund tax breaks for the rich" and "is morally reprehensible, and the faith community has to speak out." The earned income tax credit and the child tax credit are being drastically reduced. He agrees that reducing deficits is moral as well, but how we do it is what determines the overall morality of a budget. And by taking from the poor to give to the rich is entirely backward as to how morality is supposed to work. To not speak out and fight such immorality is tantamount to tacitly supporting it.
