IT'S MY FREAKIN MONEY IN THE FIRST PLACE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah, it's your money, but YOU don't get to keep it. It's theirs to distribute as they see fit...mostly to their pockets and those of the people they hope will vote for them.

The whole fake "stimuLUST" package is disgusting.

How about reducing the taxes on corporations and small business owners (ya know, the eeeeevil rich who employ people and pay salaries and wages). How about making the country more friendly to investment capital.

***The rebates would likely be limited to individuals with incomes of $85,000 or less and couples with incomes of $110,000 or less, ****

And those who pay NO taxes will feel left out so there must be something in it for them. That is what happened with the last tax rebate.

This isn’t a tax rebate. They’re giving away cash to people with the hope that they’ll promptly run down to their local Wally World and blow it on a new Chinese-made DVD player. Gotta keep the Merry-go-Round rollin’.

The reason I support this is because it makes a clear and obvious example of the Republicans philosophical tax mantra: money is better spent in the hands of taxpayers and actually increases government coffers in the long run.

What if they cut gasoline taxes by 50%? It’s not helping that fuel prices are higher at the same time we’re having a slowdown. The only problem with that is they would cut the taxes, and then later reinstitute them.

There are too many people who have lost their jobs and have no money. Their jobs went overseas, and they need the money most of all. The fat cats can wait.

If you can afford the new, federally mandated $500 light bulbs, you get no rebate. If you can’t, you get a $0.50 rebate for candles.

putting money into the hands of those who would spend it quickly

Winos? Dope addicts? Gamblers? Sub-prime borrowers?

Tax his land,
Tax his wage,
Tax his bed in which he lays.
Tax his tractor,
Tax his mule,
Teach him taxes is the rule.
Tax his cow,
Tax his goat,
Tax his pants,
Tax his coat.

Tax his ties,
Tax his shirts,
Tax his work,
Tax his dirt.

Tax his tobacco,
Tax his drink,
Tax him if he tries to think.

Tax his booze,
Tax his beers,
If he cries,
Tax his tears.

Tax his bills,
Tax his gas,
Tax his notes,
Tax his cash.

Tax him good and let him know
That after taxes, he has no dough.

If he hollers,
Tax him more,
Tax hi m until he’s good and sore.

Tax his coffin,
Tax his grave,
Tax the sod in which he lays.
Put these words upon his tomb,
‘Taxes drove me to my doom!’

And when he’s gone,
We won’t relax,
We’ll still be after the inheritance TAX!!
Accounts Receivable Tax
Building Permit Tax
CDL License Tax
Cigarette Tax
Corporate Income Tax
Dog License Tax
Federal Income Tax
Federal Unemployment Tax (FUTA)
Fishing License Tax
Food License Tax
Fuel Perm it Tax
Gasoline Tax
Hunting License Tax
Inheritance Tax
Inventory Tax
IRS Interest Charges (tax on top of tax),
IRS Penalties (tax on top of tax),
Liquor Tax,
Luxury Tax,
Marriage License Tax,
Medicare Tax,
Property Tax,
Real Estate Tax,
Service charge taxes,
Social Security Tax,
Road Usage Tax (Truckers),
Sales Taxes,
Recreational Vehicle Tax,
School Tax,
State Income Tax,
State Unemployment Tax (SUTA),
Telephone Federal Excise Tax,
Telephone Federal Universal Service Fe e Tax,
Telephone Federal, State and Local Su rcharge Tax,

Telephone Minimum Usage Su rcharge Tax,
Telephone Recurring and Non-recurring Charges Tax,

Telephone State and Local Tax,
Telephone Usage Charge Tax,
Utility Tax,
Vehicle License Registration Tax,
Vehicle Sales Tax,
Watercraft Registration Tax,
Well Permit Tax,
Workers Compensation Tax.

Not one of these taxes existed 100 years ago,
and our nation was the most prosperous in the
world.
We had absolutely no national debt, had the
largest middle class in the world, and Mom stayed
home to raise the kids.

What happened? Can you spell ‘politicians!’

And I still have to ‘press
1’ for English.

What the heck happened?????

Answer

SOCIALISM
