IDBillzFan Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 The next time a liberal tries to tell the rich aren't paying their fair share, show them this article, because here is your money shot: But Tax Foundation data also shows that people who didn't pay any income tax received $105 billion in refundable tax credits from the IRS. Oh, yeah. That's fair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alaska Darin Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Oh, yeah. That's fair. Good thing giving away tax payer money doesn't have a negative effect on the economy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IDBillzFan Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Good thing giving away tax payer money doesn't have a negative effect on the economy. I still remember the wise words of Nancy Pelosi regarding extending unemployment benefits to 99 weeks: "It creates jobs faster than almost any other initiative you can name."

Koko78 Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 I still remember the wise words of Nancy Pelosi regarding extending unemployment benefits to 99 weeks: "It creates jobs faster than almost any other initiative you can name." Well clearly extending unemployment benefits creates jobs, uh, somehow. Of course, this is from the same oft-elected retard who once said 'elections shouldn't matter'.

B-Large Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 I am just glad I am not in the 50K and below group. A gal that works for my wife is going part-time to spend more time with her 4 kids, and she has a 5th one on the way. Her husband is a youth pastor or something, and his job is unpaid. This gal told me their family got a huge tax return/ credits because of their "situation"... and they get food stamps and are on Medicaid for all the kids. I simply cannot get over the concept of having 5 kids and no way to pay for them.... however, on the flip side, these people tend to spend every penny the get from the public so in that sense it is funnelled back into the eocnomy, which is good. That life just sounds awful to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Natalie Suleman? I can't even look at her picture. 15 kids, just stupid. How is any of what you've just described good? None of it is, my statement is that at least the money they receive gets spent... because they are often to dumb to save any.... But no, none of that is good news.

DC Tom Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Y'know, that's probably illegal. I don't know who to report it to (the FEC?). But I get about an email a month at my client email telling everyone to not do anything even remotely like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
