NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- Nearly half of all Americans who claimed the first-time homebuyer tax credit on their 2009 tax returns will have to repay the government.
According to a report from the Inspector General for Tax Administration, released to the public Thursday, about 950,000 of the nearly 1.8 million Americans who claimed the tax credit on their 2009 tax returns will have to return the money.

Pathetic.
The buffoon even fails at bread and circuses.
Now that’s gonna bring in a lot democrat votes!
LOL! You can’t make this stuff up folks!
So the other 798 dead people got to keep the credits?
“It is also taking a look at all those deceased taxpayers who received credits.
The inspector general reported that 1,326 single people listed as dead by the Social Security Administration claimed more than $10 million in credits. The IRS threw out 528 of those 1,326 claims, saving $4 million.”
What about the other 800 deceased?

taking a look at all those deceased taxpayers
but not taking a look at all those deceased voters too?
I once argued with a liberal who citied such claims for Obambi and then added why we never hear of many people claiming a Repub Prez. is the smartest guy ever...
I responded by saying that only a liberal would be stupid enough to make such a claim in the first place.
And the “progressive elements” of the State Run Media claim to be clueless as to why businesses are not hiring.
That’s a good one.
I’ve yet to meet a liberal who wasn’t severely lacking in some key intellectual area. They can spout quotes and facts and many are even very good thinkers, but when you show them a different way of thinking about, say, Republicans, they can’t even abide the concept of trying to see it another way.
Their stubborn refusal to budge from their assumptions, once revealed to them, makes them very, very cranky. Within a couple of minutes they call you a fascist, and you can walk away grinning.
True story: I was at a friend’s family gathering recently, and my friend later revealed that the whole time his brother-in-law was secretly peeved at me. (I got along with the guy just fine, I thought.) He was ticked off about something I said to him, literally a DECADE ago about his liberalism.
Once you’ve stung a lib, they cling to that wound like it’s a badge of honor—”A conservative was mean to me once!”
“cling”
it’s the Libs who are bitter clingers. Note to self: I shoulda had a V8.
Many of us thought the Democrats were timing the stimulus to get past this years election but it looks like their timing was about 6 months off.
Their bad luck on the timing of the the different stimulus $$$$ running out reminds me of Republicans bad luck in 2008 with the financial crash. They are not getting any breaks.
Yeah, but, they’re dead.
Which Congressman or foreign bank or Arab imam really got the money?
They must have checked out their voting history and contributions perhaps?

Yep, folks. These are the same people who think the government can run your health insurance better than you can, ‘cause you’re, you know, not that smart.
Good thing I claimed it on my 2008 returns. Although, I actually qualified for it...
