What you said was:

See Laura, you worked hard, made choices different than me, and because I make less than you...I DESERVE the credit more than you do. Maybe if you wouldn't work so hard you'd get a child tax credit too!!


You said if she didn't work so hard maybe she would've gotten a child tax credit.

She doesn't get the child tax credit because she makes too much money.

Yes there are some who aren't doing so well....but there are a lot of people who make poor choices, live beyond their means, and aren't willing to work and make the sacrifices of waiting to have things until they can afford them.

I only make excuses and have empathy for people who deserve to get empathy, not for people who like you said live beyond their means, and cheat the system.

That's why I'm voting Mccain, since he has much more of a record on trying to cut government waste. I also may vote Libertarian if he has at least $500 million in his coffers.......otherwise he won't get any electoral votes>>


It all depends on your definition of waste and fraud.

Maybe they should have waited to have kids when they could afford them.
