not sure what that smilie means, but that point seems to have been lost to many. I bet if you asked 100 average people on the street, most probably wouldn't know that.

Most people, including most of those who identify with the Tea Party movement, as well as several prominent Cellar dwellers, did not know that over 1/3 of the $787 billion Recovery Act was in the form of middle class tax cuts and targeted tax relief....the largest middle class tax cut in years.

Of course not, they just know they're paying more, not considering they're making more. What they are worried about is the massive tax increases that are coming, because Fox and company told them they're coming.

You don't believe that Tax increases are coming?

Unemployment would have hit 10.8% — higher than December's 10% rate — without Obama's $787 billion stimulus program, according to the economists' median estimate. The difference would translate into another 1.2 million lost jobs. http://www.usatoday.com/money/econom...stimulus_N.htm The third national survey of economists in recent months in which the consensus is the stimulus has made a difference. Perhaps you can cite anything that shows it has not had a positive impact. |

The vast majority of them -- 89 percent -- are white. They tend to skew older: Three in four are 45 years old or older, including 29 percent who are 65 plus. They are also more likely to be men (59 percent) than women (41 percent). Representative of most of the country? Or........... |

Never said they were representative of most of the country? Apparently they are from the 53% who are paying taxes not the 47% who don't.

Personally, I dont think the Recovery Act tax cuts are as beneficial as the job creation spending....and many economist agree, but it was a concession to Republicans who still wouldnt support the bill....and many of whom go home and take credit for new jobs in their districts/state that directly resulted from the Act. Quote:
And the significant COBRA and UI extensions in the act that benefit those Tea Party followers who are unemployed. Or the more senior Tea Party followers who are all for smaller government.....but dont touch their Medicare! Or those who are outraged by the bank bailouts but are silent on the need for new financial services regulation...preferring a "free market" solution. Last edited by Redux; 04-30-2010 at 05:38 PM. |

That would be them, I guess. Then again their interpretation is as valid as yours, I guess.
To get back to the original question. T=taxed E=enough A=already Oh and you never replied to UT - Quote:
