Um......I do not hate the people that try.

I am just saying why should a tax rebate be given to someone who does not pay them?

Quite frankly, I was making the assumption that the people getting this rebate are the welfare losers. To not pay any taxes at all, you are making almost nothing. Therefore, I assume that most of the people this rebate will be going to (the ones who are getting something for no taxes being paid, not the ones who actually deserve a rebate) are not living up to their full potential and are not trying very hard.

If someone is trying their best, but can't get a decent job, maybe they should get the rebate even if they pay no taxes. I do have compassion for those who try, but struggle to even live.

Don't assume.

I wasn't assuming. I was responding to the real comments you and others have made on this thread.
Actually the people on welfare may not get this rebate, just as they DON'T get the EIC. The EIC is based on income, it has a low income limit as well as the upper income limit. I can't remember exactly what it is right this minute. I want to say $3000 or so.
And someone who is on the low income level who doesn't pay federal income taxes still pays state, county, sales, excise, wheel, gasoline and God knows what other taxes many states and cities have passed. I don't gripe about a few hundred bucks going to these people. I would much rather the money go to them than the arts groups who support porn, vulgarity and blasphemy.
