It's officially called a "refundable" tax credit. The unofficial name is "welfare check". Just like the earned income credit.
Republicans are a bunch of spineless, unprincipled ninnies only when they're in the majority and their votes mean something. They've got all the courage in the world when they're in a hopeless minority and their votes have no impact. They act like a party that's more comfortable in the minority. Unless O and the Dems piss off an awful lot of their people, the Pubs may be in the minority for a long time. Keeping them there is what this "stimulus" stuff's all about.
Like it or not, another U.S. civil war is probably coming, at some point in the future. The longer that “everything non-leftist” is suppressed, as well as the higher the calibur that this suppression does happen against “everything non-leftist”, the greater the chances that an eventual civil war does happen, whether the majority of the general public actually wants one or not.
I hope you’re wrong but I have this sinking feeling that we are close to a sh*t hits the fan scenario.
Democratic-written Stimulus Bill=Democrat Voter Base Building Machine
You are so right.
Nevertheless, the Obamanoids are FREAKING OUT and gearing up...

Dear MoveOn Member:
Did you see how many Republicans voted for President Obama’s stimulus package in the House yesterday?
None. Seriously, not a single one.1
Americans voted overwhelmingly for change in November. We voted for an end to the partisan bickering and political games that are destroying our politics. And President Obama bent over backwards to get House Republicans to craft a bipartisan bill, to no avail.
As the bill moves to the Senate, we need bipartisan support, or the stimulus won’t pass. Senate Republicans need to know they have a clear choice: support a stimulus package that will put millions of Americans back to work, or continue to play the games that got us into this mess.
We’ve put together a powerful new ad to pressure the key senators. Can you chip in $25 to get it on the air immediately?

President Obama spent hours meeting with Republican leaders personally. He made painful compromises to win them over.2
But Republicans refused to play ball. They’re insisting on a plan that doesn’t invest a cent in green jobs or health care or education. They just want more tax cuts for the rich and for corporations, even though that’s part of what got us into this mess.3
GOP leaders will get their way—unless we can convince a few Republican senators who are on the fence.

Thanks for all you do.

Another example of the axiom
“to defeat the left, expose the left”
For the last "rebate," (which she figured she wasn't eligible for) she received a special "stimulus" tax return form in the mail: just filled it in (with her SS#), and she got a $300 check.
So, what do they intend to do this time? How in hades would someone who doesn't have an SS# be able to file a zero tax, tax return?
Would anyone like to buy a beautiful Phoenix condo - right in the center of town, within 5 minutes of everything? ‘Coz I’m seriously thinking of heading for the hills.
You might want to head for the hills, maybe the TB wont woft up that high, but the insects carrying Chagas disease will ....
Unreal. Obama is also talking about a refugee program. This is all Alinsky, Ayers, Cloward-Piven to deestroy America. It has been done in western Europe with Islam flooding in like a tsunami.
That’s a beautiful highlight to the pork spending. Just to let Americans know what change is all about.
Simple. They apply to IRS for an ITIN (individual tax ID #). They can use this, instead of a SSN, to file any return with the IRS.
Thanks for the ping.
Excuse me.
I have to try and clean up all the blood that just squirted out of my eyes upon viewing this latest atrocity.
Who needs amnesty, it’s better to be an ethically challenged and illegal, what with no SS# required.

” makes people who came to the United States illegally eligible for tax credits of $500 per worker and $1,000 per couple.”
I thought Jorge Bush had left office.
There’s probably 20-30 million illegals living and working in the US. IF they pay taxes they use an ITIN, an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number. Many just work off the books.
