What about the middle class?

What happened to the tax relief promise for everyone making under $250,000 of $500? Now the incentive package is released with the relief once again applying to those earning less than $75,000. Those of us earning more than this amount but under $250,000 cannot carry the burden for all of the people who caused all of the problems we face. I make $85,000 and with the high taxes from Kane County, high costs of food, gas, and everything I bring home way under $75,000. Yet no tax break! I do not have access to a money printing machine the government uses, so how can I afford this? What happened, President Obama? You have only been in office a month and forgot about all of us who earn over $75,000. My company has decided to forego raises this year, and has asked us to work many, many hours of overtime, and can't even guarantee our jobs. Where and when is this going to end?
