Those aren't workers. Those are deadbeats. Even if your boys get them to vote five times again they can't beat Bush...

Umm...this doesn't make sense. They didn't help the roughly (i looked it up) 30% of workers who pay payroll taxes but not income taxes. Why should an INCOME tax cut benefit someone who doesn't pay income taxes in the first place? The "30%" who don't pay income taxes are also eligible for the Earned Income Credit. Another silly income redistribution plan fostered by the left. As to this: Those 30% of workers helped finance the tax cut with their hard earned payroll tax dollars and they didn't get squat. I hate to tell you this, but a tax cut does NOT have to be FUNDED. The government lets ME keep MORE of what I originally EARNED. You make it sound as if this lowly "30%" has somehow worked to "give" me my tax refund this year. Sorry, but I am just getting back the money that the Federal Government confiscated from me in the first place. I can't help it if BOTH sides of the aisle decided to spend MORE money than they can confiscate from me. Diz
