Are you seriously comparing the "no strings hand-outs" in the form of $1000.00 tax rebates to the "rich" getting to keep more of their OWN money because of tax cuts? More class warfare BS.


Is a "tax rebate" not leaving more of their own money in the pockets of the folks who get it?

Perhaps in the case of the relatively few who pay no income tax, yet get money back, no, but for the vast majority it is just giving back money they paid in.

Of course, when poor people get something rich people get, there are some who scream about handouts. Apparently the poor don't make their own money, they just make rich people's money?



Oh that's right. The "rich" are getting away with something when they pay less in taxes. Thanks for proving my point about BS class warfare.


Thanks so very much for not reading what I wrote.

You wrote that the rich were keeping their own money while the poor were getting a handout. A tax rebate is a handout for no one, whether it applies to every taxpayer, only "poor" taxpayers, or only "rich" taxpayers. We've seen all of these in recent times.

I did not write that anybody was more or less deserving of a tax break. I did not write that rich people were "getting away" with something when they pay less tax, while others are not.
