TAX REBATE ISSUE
For those of you complaining about the structure of the proposed tax rebate structure, think about how you voted in the 2006 Congressional election. If you contributed to this mess of Democratic power, stop whining. If you did not contribute, let’s review. Instead of treating everyone as equals, the Democrats are wanting to discriminate by structuring the tax rebate so that those on public assistance get money back that they didn’t earn, but rather that we earned for them, while those doing the earning for them are penalized by not getting a tax rebate because they make too much money. How dare us!
Someone please bring sense to the madness. This structured rebate stemmed from conversations surrounding the fact that every dime of the last rebate did not go back into the economy. Their “studies” indicated that a third -those with a higher income- socked away the money for a rainy day, while two thirds -the lower income bracket- spent the rebate immediately. Let’s think about this for a minute. People who aren’t living paycheck to paycheck socked away $600 bucks apiece, and that hurt the economy? Please. Those who socked away the money are the same members of society who are carrying the economy through. They are spending and boosting the economy continually, so big deal that they got a little money to hang onto so they can save it for a sub-zero refrigerator, or a 102 inch projection screen television, or maybe some landscaping project. Should they be punished for making sound economical decisions?
