...a government check sent to every household that has nothing to do with the amount of taxes paid by that household...

But the amount of the check sent to every CITIZEN household does have everything to do with the amount of taxes paid by that household.

IN-FRICKIN-DEED it represents the EXACT amount of tax paid on necessities last month!

Good grief!

How you can say such boggles the mind. "Freedom is slavery" and "tax refunds are socialism"... lol

Not it does not; and you are lying again. Each household of a given size receives the same amount in their government check, regardless of how much money they actually paid in taxes.

No it does not; even the quality of your lies are suffering now. Unless the government somehow tracks how much a specific individual paid in taxes, and determines what "necessities" are, there is no way the amount could be "EXACT". And since the government handouts you are advocating are the same for every household, and the probability of every household in the U.S. of a given size paying the "EXACT" same amount in taxes on "necessities", the chances of your lies being accurate is statistically zero.

Both of those statements are yours. At first I thought they were just more of your lies and ad hominem attacks, but considering your insistence on government handouts to every household in the U.S., it's beginning to look like you actually believe them.

Is there any possible way you can try to make your case without being obtuse? Point of fact: If you pay 200 in taxes for the year (arbitrary number) and you recieve what you call a "refund" for 400 dollars, you have just taken a 200 dollar government handout. That is redistribution of wealth and by definition is socialistic. No matter how you try to wiggle around in imprecise verbage to obfuscate that fact. This is a Republic, not a Socialist dictatorship.
And I'm a taxpayer. I'm not paying taxes so that you can enjoy the benifit of my hard work. Nor am I going to vote for a candidate that sees fit to play redistribution games.
If you want socialist policies, go to a socialist country.
Otherwise, stop playing games with words and try joining the conversation.
