Fredrick Love: Tax cuts shouldn't focus on millionaires and billionaires

He says Arkansas families are struggling with the rising cost of living and that the Governor's priorities aren't helping everyday residents. "And every time we cut the top rate for millionaires and billionaires, it gets harder to fund schools, child care, health care and services for our seniors. That's the trade off. Republicans don't want you to see," said Love.
