I'm so sick of these "leechers". It is beyond their comprehension that ONLY taxpayers will receive a tax rebate. I'm also sick & tired of them whining that this tax cut will only benefit the RICH. Where were they when the RICH pay most of the taxes? Guess that doens't bother them at all.

I'm going to the store right now and demand a $400 refund for the check I did not mail them.

How far do you think I'll get?

The result is that only families earning enough to pay taxes, or about $26,000, will benefit from the change. Higher-income families are expected to receive checks for $400 per child (maximum of two) in July and August.

How terrible! Only those families who pay taxes will get a rebate. Unless you make too much money. My son and DIL will not get a rebate because they are the evil rich and make too much money. I think that any parent who pays income tax should get a rebate.
