Give it to your 2 kids... It's only fair since they're the ones who are gonna have to pay it back.

well your kids will be paying for his administration, but you'll be paying this one back yourself.

read the whole story on it (recieved the explaining letter last week), it's just an advance on your 2003 refund. and if you wouldn't have got a refund you'll have to pay it back.

People who didn't pay income taxes didn't get an income tax refund. How can that be fair?

funny, i was talking to some people yesterday at work. problem is as follows:
-feds lower taxes and you get 800$.
- state raises home property taxes by 1000$.
So now you're 200$ short.

They say it happends in NY and CT every time that taxes come down

How is that for ironic ?
I told them not to worry, their tax free dividends will surely cover way more then 200$

Thats a perfect example of Democrats raising taxes *(NY, and CT are primarily Dem) and Repubs relieving taxes.

Then explain why it is happening in Texas also. They are slick, they don't raise the tax rate, they just raise the property value. Golly, ain't those Republicans swell?

FD-Ski said "everytime this happens" so I'm assuming that those two states decide to take that money given back and raise the taxes while people have that money.

These days, alot of states are raising prop. taxes due to shortages of funds because of the recession we're coming out of that began in March 2000, including our state. The primary reason for this is because our politicians, regardless of party affiliation, don't know how to put themselves on a budget and don't know how to account for spending. They expect us to do that when they raise our taxes. So, as a taxpayer, its up to you to voice your displeasure and contact your local congressman and tell them "You account for your spending and stop raising MY taxes" or you can be a sheep and say "Yass Massa"

I know you meant that as a joke, Nash...but it's the sad truth.

20 years from now, economists will be saying "what in hell was that administration thinking?"

Actually Rip, CT has a Republican governor and is pretty evenly split last i checked. In NY Mr. Pataki is also a Republican. Bloomberg ran on republican ticket as well.
Don't dillude yourself that Republicans are lowering taxes. They ain't that stupid.

Sadly, my congressman has zero to due with property taxes. Property Tax is a local issue (at least in Texas). They did not raise the tax rate (which would require a vote), they raised the property values (you have absolutely no say in this matter, you can protest till you turn blue, and I have). Property values are set by the Chief Appraiser, who is a civil servant and has no election and no fear of losing his job. (Note: In our county the chief appraiser also happens to be on the County's Republican Party Committee)

It is well and good that many in this thread realize that elected politicians are the ONLY reliable means of spending money correctly.

In the near future, when more have "come to the light" and realize the truth of this, we will initiate "direct deposit" of everyone's paycheck into the Federal and State government revenue accounts.

You will then be sent a monthly allotment of money, after the politicians have determined how much you in particular need to spend. The rest they will keep and spend for you, since you are unable to determine the best way to spend your money.

There will be a slight charge for this service.
