Most, if not all, of these refundees make less than $32,000 a year (I am assuming this since 47% of the population fits into this category and 40% don't have tax liability), therefore they are already benefiting from the pre-existing 40% reduction in taxes compared to those who make up to $80,000 (15% tax liability versus 25%, respectively). Obama calls this a boost to the "middle class". Sorry, but $32k and below may have been middle class 20 years ago, but that is not even close now.
Finally, lets tack on the $275 BILLION in mortgage relief that will be going to people who spent beyond their means when buying property. This amount will only be redistributed to about 9 million homeowners, however, so that means about $30 grand each...again to people who, by and large, don't deserve it.
...nice pay day for all of those redistributees...I'll thank my kids for them.
So whats your problem Bio-man So whats new to agitate you so.We all receive a bit of gratis from UNCLE,so go easy on the nations layabouts,they have had to make some tough choices,such as work or welfare. Ted Kennedy understands and really feels their pain,dont believe me, ask Barbara Striesand or any of the other HOLYWOOD know it alls?
ReplyDeleteOn the other side too, this mortgage relief is also helping the shady banks that gave out these risky zero down loans to people with bad/questionable credit history.
