When I got my $600 check from the last tax cut, I was grateful that you, the people, had given me more of your money. You could have spent that money collectively on schools, highways, health care, etc., but as patriotic individuals, you elected leaders who gave that money to me so I could blow it on the good things in life - more things, bigger things, digital things, things I saw advertised and just had to have.

Gollleeee!

This MENSA candidate is trying reverse psychology on us.

Now we are supposed to have a hissy fit because he got some of his own money back and...

**GASP**

Spend it as he saw fit!

Moron!!

It's your crowd that reacts that way to other people's independence.

I couldn't care less if you set yours on fire.
Try another tack, brainiac.

The real crime here isn't that this columnist got $600 back in taxes. The real crime is that he actually got paid for writing this column. Maybe he should have given his $600 rebate to the newspaper that hired him and kept him from having to find a real job.
