By what authority? What does the, um, law have to say about that? Because I don't really give a darn what you "consider"!

These are the same people who were outraged over the Patriot Act.
Of course the ACLU isn’t interested. They got a dog in the fight, and their dog is the pack leader.
Lousy system design, probably some kind of VPN tunnel. If I can file my taxes online without executing an agreement like this, then dealers should be able to file for these rebates online with equal lack of encumbrances.
You mean if *WE* give you $4500?
You are so correct.
Ya mean kinda like when you take that mortgage or dependent deduction on your Fed income tax? Never had kids, never had a mortgage, but I've been subsidizing those of others my entire working life and still do in retirement.
no.
We didn’t have a mortgage while our kids were living at home. Never saw that deduction.
Makes me wonder if people remember, *We the people are also We the government*
Did anyone ever buy a car from a dealer BEFORE C4C?
Or did anyone every buy a car from a dealer and not participate in C4C?
Does the dealer's IT system include records of those transactions?
(Yes...yes...yes)
Then the federal government (by the dealer's agreement to the banner) has rights to ALL those records.

I guess there's not much "privacy information" on a credit application, loan information, purchase contract, trade-in report, title and registration, and licensing documentation.

An income tax deduction is an example of a tax payer “keeping more of his own earned money.” It has nothing to do with your tax return. Besides, since you have never declared dependents, and thus have put a bit more in each years’s tax return into the treasury than parents did, you have covered a bit more for the amount of Social Security and Medicare, etc that you will be getting from the govt. Perhaps some of those other people’s children will be the workers who subsidize your retirement income.
The $4500 is being ‘given’ BY our treasury department to the car dealer who sells a government approved car. Since our govt is broke, we may even say that it is now the Chinese govt who are ‘giving’ the dollars to the dealers.
Lovely thoughts! First our manufacturing gone away, now.....
I would connect to it via a virtual machine and have a boatload of folders named F_U_B_O and Eff_Obama.
Strange but isn’t this what the dimrats were accusing Bush/Cheney of doing along with listening to our phone calls? Oh now I see, first they accuse the other side of (fill in the blank), then they turn around and do the very same thing.
Nothing that can't be resolved by a totally flat tax with no deductions and no credits. It's about time that everybody had the same amount of skin in the game.
??? Perhaps instead of return, you meant refund. Your tax return is the document on which you report your income and deductions. If it turns out the government owes you money back, that's a refund.
I have the mortgage deduction, and I have kids.
I still pay taxes every year.
Just because someone pays less tax than you doesn't mean you're "subsidizing" anything.
Glenn Beck announced on his show yesterday that they received a correspondence with the Obama Administration yesterday afternoon saying that they have taken down the web page in question (only accessible with dealerships) and are rewording it.
Glenn did mention how he came across the web page. A single individual contacted him and told him about it. That person does not want to be know.
No. They don't own your computer, they own the data you put on theirs.
How ironic. From the same bunch taking over the entire American economy.
