Why is it a tax cut when McCain cuts taxes?

People are suppose to receive the full rate they paid out with interest added.

Then you have not learned correctly.


No one has said tax cuts for lower income earners are welfare - when someone gets back more than they pay in that is welfare.


Anything that allows people to keep more of their own money is not welfare, it is merely starving the congresscritters who are always happy to spend other people's money.

How exactly does one earn a 1.8 million dollar bonus? I worked for a company and for my 60K a year I worked 45-60 hours a week, didn't get vacation or sick time, stayed late whenever patient care dictated it, obtained a MSN, maintained my education, licensure and credentialing. I know how I earned my money, but the big wig in charge of my benefits, including no vacation or sick time, how did he earn his 1.8 mil bonus? By not paying me and my colleagues appropriately and not giving us benefits. I have no concerns about him paying more taxes. I mean really, how many hours could he be working to make that? Are you sure he earned it?

That depends, do those deduction reduce the tax liability to the point that the refund due is greater than the taxes withheld?

If his work preformance met the satisfaction of those who hired him and set his compensation, then yes he earned it.

So we are going to ask the wealthy to pay more taxes, pay more in social security....but not get more.

Well Sue, if I am remembering correctly, you have stated in your posts that your DH has skipped bonuses and/or raises during this tough economy.

How do you know if that spending will benefit the health of the economy in the long term like health care?
