<<. In the one case we are talking about the person who is paying taxes and getting back some of his or her money. In the other case we are talking about someone who does nothing getting something from an other person>> In the first case it is a crime that they take more money from the productive people than they need and in the second case it is just a crime.

Re: "In the one case we are talking about the person who is paying taxes and getting back some of his or her money. In the other case we are talking about someone who does nothing getting something from an other person." While you're at it, address the problem of corporate welfare .... companies that rake in millions of dollars a year in profits but yet wind up paying little or no income tax. Another problem is the incentives that states use to attract new businesses. Kentucky and Ohio, for example, have waged a little war for the past several years in Greater Cincinnati, offering all kinds of sweetheart deals for firms to locate on their side of the river. In some cases, a firm escapes local property taxes (read school taxes) for 10 or more years. So while the worthless politicians can point to a new building and X number of jobs and pat themselves on the back, the school district is given the task of educating children of said employees without the benefit of taxing said business. And we wonder why starting teachers only make $20,000 a year.
