Of course they don't want that because they want people on low incomes to get ahead. The current policy represents a tax break for everyone. It can happen tomorrow with no cuts to government spending. To be honest, I can't figure out what you're complaining about. You can't fight the substance of the policy, so you try to accuse them of "inconsistency" as if that means something. Argumentum ad hominem.
