LE,
I sure hope you're talking about the bankers who got the Billions because if you think someone milked the welfare system for more than what they got then you're really fear mongering... Trust me, no one is getting rich on welfare and they certainly don't get millions in bonuses.
The "rebates" are not in proportion to what was paid - they will be much less - and what was paid was not in proportion to what was earned - that was much more.
The only people that make out with the "rebate" scam are the ones who didn't pay much to start with.
The same is true of the other "credits" and "deductions".
Therefore, it all is nothing more than wealth redistribution implemented coming and going.
Real tax reduction means less taxation up front and it requires a lot less spending for government foolishness.
So, on certain thread, you allow last comments, and yet on others you close them without a warning.
Hum...
btw, the thread I am questioning was on topic and there were no personal attacks going on...
Just posting out loud and wondering the difference.
No, what I am saying is we're spending too much time and effort worried about the pennies and nickels that fall between the cracks but fail to see or address the big dollars being sucked out the door. I know to scripture stealing is stealing but if this was a wounded patient, I would suggest stopping the major bleeding before you get concerned about the minor cuts and scratches.
We gave bankers lump some payments totaling more than the entire welfare program.
There is a 10-page limit on the Politics forum UNLESS there are personal attacks going on or the thread is totally derailed or it is a duplicate thread, then it may be closed before the 10-page limit. Hope that helps.
