What Tery McLaughable forgets to explain is that these families pay no income tax, and therefore there is nothing to cut

[Conspiracy Guy]

It also leaves out the tax credit for the homeless and the Canadians. It is an outrage. This is seriesly hugh. (SARCASM)

A pox on the house of liars.

[TC Rider]

Yeah those wealthy bastards making more than $26,625 get all the breaks.

Funny, he forgets to mention the earned income tax credit these non tax paying families get each year.

[Zavien Doombringer]

they will see it in the Earned Income Credit - YOu know the place where they give money to the non-payer so they feel good that they are getting something from the government.

Reminds me of a birthday party I went to as a kid. The party was for a 10yr old boy, he got tons of gifts, but his mom gave his brother (who was 8) gifts so that he wouldn't feel left out. Shame...shame...

From the NY Times, as published in the Contra Costa Times:

The families were left out of the tax law in last-minute congressional negotiations over how much to cut the tax on stock dividends and capital gains, while keeping the entire bill under the Senate limit of $350 billion.

In other words, Bush wanted $500 Million, but the Democrats, who insisted it was too much money, forced the issue down to $350 milion. Now they are saying that the tax cut was not enough!

Here is the link to the Contra Costa Times Article. The above quote is foundin paragraph nine.

Most of you people are just terrible - look, just because they do not pay taxes doesn't mean that they would not if they made enough to pay taxes - cut'em some slack and, while you are at it, cut'em a check.

While we are discussing this matter, consider the plight of couples who have tried to have children but could not have them. I think we should cut each of those couples a check for $2,600 ($1000 x 2.6 children average per family) as though they had children because, after all, haven't they suffered enough in their failure and guilt.

Finally, what about all the gays who have tried to adopt and have been prevented from doing so because of such old-fashioned ideas and laws concerning morality, stability, hertero-sexual couples. Think of their pain, think of their feelings - cut them a check.

All you people have been just too damn judgemental - remember, it is a sin to be judgemental - judgmentalism is just a few letters before racism which is the worst sin of all. Gee, its great to be an American.

Have a question that pertains to this bunch of crap from DNC!

There was an article in this morning's Oklahoman about how the OK Food Bank delivers frozen sandwiches,etc. to some OKC schools for the lunch program during the summer. Do they mean to tell me that parents cannot use their welfare money to buy sandwich meat and fix their own kids sandwiches?

Not to mention, since parents get food stamps to buy food, why does the Federal Government have to maintain a summer school lunch program when there is no school? Not to mention some schools serve breakfast! What is wrong with buying generic cereal and milk? Not to mention that Sunny Delight is cheap!

Just don't understand why people who don't pay taxes should get a tax cut and why people who get credits to buy food, cannot buy food for their own children! They always have money to buy cigarettes -- why not food?

Off my soapbox!

[cubreporter]

Oh stop...nobody's buying it anymore.

[cubreporter]

I mean the DNC SPAM not you PeoplesRep_of_LA. I have to remember to make certain the poster doesn't believe I mean him/her in my remarks. :) Sorry.

[ItisaReligionofPeace]

Hmmm, people who don't pay federal income taxes aren't going to receive a refund? What a travesty.

[Political Junkie Too]

I see that the word "scheme" is making its way back into the DNC vernacular.

I am appalled at the amount of taxes we have to pay. And I am disgusted at the way Congress spends our hard-earned money. BUT, this is the fairest thing I've come across in a long time.

When the cuts were first being discussed, I thought about the "bonus check" those who pay little or no taxes would get. And that pissed me off. Now I am thrilled that the situation has been reversed. I feel like we finally won a round in the "income redistribution" fight.
