Check out Diddy-Dirty Money performing their single, “Coming Home” on the 8th annual WWE Tribute to the Troops, which premiered Saturday on NBC.
Following their performance, Diddy took to the mic to express his feelings:
“It’s a blessing to be here around you guys. I want to say you are my heroes. I just want to speak from a personal note…Today has really changed me. You know a lot of times in life there are so many things we take for granted. Being around you all and seeing how hard you work and how focused and serious you are that it just connected with me that we don’t sometimes show our appreciation the way we should. You guys, for real, I thank God for you guys.”
On Friday, President Barack Obama signed the $858 billion Tax Relief, Unemployment Insurance Reauthorization, and Job Creation Act of 2010 into law which provides tax relief for families around the country and prevents a massive tax hike next year.
In his remarks Friday afternoon, the President said “by a wide bipartisan margin, both houses of Congress have passed a package of tax relief that will protect the middle class, grow our economy and create jobs for the American people“.
This bipartisan effort was prompted by the fact that tax rates for every American were poised to automatically increase on January 1st. If that had come to pass, the average middle-class family would have had to pay an extra $3,000 in taxes next year. That wouldn’t have just been a blow to them — it would have been a blow to our economy just as we’re climbing out of a devastating recession.
According to a fact sheet from the White House, nearly half of all African American children will benefit from the expansion of the Earned Income Tax Credit and Child Tax Credit.
