What is so hard to understand about a tax cut cutting the taxes of those who pay them not being a hand-out to those who don't pay taxes?

[basil]

Isn't that the truth! The dims will harp on this forever. They are so ingenius about things like this. Unless people really look into the truth of the matter, the dims will persuade them that the Republicans are once more starving the chilrun!

This is so dumb. How much does someone with 6 dependents and 15k in income pay in the first place? With all the deductions, exemptions and credits, it's got to be really miniscule.

This is just the latest attempt by the Rats to impose their Alternate Reality.

A poor person who does not pay taxes and who "needs a break" is looking for welfare, not a tax cut.

If the Rats want to advocate increasing welfare payments, have it, you rodents. But don't insult my intelligence by trying to call a hand-out a "tax cut."

Puh-leeze.

The Demorats voted down the tax credit for those who don't pay taxes.

Here is the deal>

26 years old, and six kids.

Sounds like the sperm donor don't live with the kids. The sperm donor does not work but his #$@@$% works.

Sounds to me like the lady needs to take two aspirin each night for birth control. Two aspirins held tightly between her knees.

26 year-old with six kids. Typical profile!

I'm still trying to figure out why I won't get a credit for
my 17 year old son....

With six children to look after, a broken-down van and an annual income of about $15,000, Kalala Palmer figures she could use a break.

She's GOT a break ... she pays NO INCOME TAX.

Well maybe if she wasnt forced to attend a govt school she would have been smart enough not to have 6 kids or try to raise them on 15,000$ a year. Then she would realize there is no free lunch and become a producer instead of a consumer of other peoples labor

Out of curiosity, how does her take-home pay compare with what she'd get on welfare?

Maybe her husband could try and find a higher paying job, or she could quit being a stay-at-home mother. If she's divorced, then maybe she ought to have the father(s) pay a little more in child support. Having 6 kids is a good enough decision as long as you can afford to provide for those kids ---why expect to steal from others and their own kids?

This reminds me of Larry Elder on his radio program, laying out quite plainly....certain "strata" (to be PC) have a whole different 'sense of logic'. I remember him saying this in reference to the O.J. Simpson jury.

[Steely Tom]

The solution to the problem of people "missing out" is simple: make the tax cuts permanent, so that when the people who are now "missing out" finally make it into the upper-income levels, President Bush's tax cut is still there to benefit them as well.

There ya go. Didn't even break a sweat.

Just so I am sure I understand the purpose of the Federal Government, as I would understand it from this article: the purpose is to take money from productive people and give that money to semi-literate baby-making machines. 6 kids, no mention of a husband, a lack of education and marginal job skills, and the Federal Government is supposed to come to her rescue. Zero personal responsibility ... just crank out the kids and wait on the checks to roll in.

The tone and slant of this article expertly panders to the Lowest Common Denominator mentality.

[Fraulein]

U.S. Rep. Vern Ehlers, R-Grand Rapids: "Since the purpose is to help people with children, then it makes sense to be sure it applies to everyone who has children."

Huh? Is this a joke? Oh, I forgot; logic doesn't matter -- it's for the children!

[Vinnie]

Why not give these people a 10%, 20% or 30% tax cut?

Since they don't pay tax they won't be getting anything but the sound bites will be great.

If you gave a wedding reception, and the caterer overcharged you and you called him on it, I guess it's okay if the caterer just hands the refund to a guest or who looks needy, or gives an equal amount to each of your guests.

No, it should go back to you, the person who paid the bill. If you want to keep it, invest it, or give it away, that is for you to decide.

[Sparta]

If you pay taxes, you get a tax cut. If you don't pay taxes, you don't get a tax cut. Is it that hard to understand? I forget, we're dealing with socialists here.

[muir_redwoods]

I tell you what. She can have my cut and my rebate and I'll take her tax burden. How can anybody seriously argue for a tax rate cut to less than zero?

[glockmeister40]

Twenty-six years old, SIX KIDS for chrissakes. DOES THIS NEWSPAPER EXPECT US TO THINK SHE IS MAINSTREAM? Does this paper expect us to have sympathy for her? I'd bet dollars to doughnuts that all of her brood will be doing jail time in the next ten years.

How many times has this woman made the wrong choice in her life?
