Democrats Are Weighing More Tax Rebates
« on: July 16, 2008, 09:14:58 AM »
Congressional approval is so low, that now they are considering yet another round of rebates.

They don't even want to wait to see what effect the first stimulus package has on the economy! ("It appears that it does seem to be helping, but it might be yet a bit more time before we fully understand the extent to which additional stimulus may or may not be needed.''--Ben Bernanke)

I'm not sure this is a good idea...

It's starting to feel "Welfare-ish".

My $1200 didn't help the economy, it's sitting in my wife and my bank account gathering dust.

My sister got a rebate check.  I didn't.  When she asked why, I told her that she and I didn't pay any taxes.




She didn't follow my line of thought.

What is wrong with them giving people back their own money?  It is only wrong if the person getting the money never put any in in the first place.

I would like to see everyone get back most if not all of their tax money.

There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!

Did you guys cry about Bush's $500 check when he first came to office and did you cry about the last stimulus checks? Funny I thought you guys liked tax cuts..  I guess it only matters who is giving them..  :rofl

huh?  You are so deep into being a nutbag liberal that you can be counted on to post something stupid in every political thread. I am convinced you don't actually think before you type.

bush tax breaks were to help the economy, the democrat tax breaks are to get re-elected and then they will raise taxes.
