The point of the tax cut is to put money back in Americans pockets, anybody who works pays over $400 a year in FICA, which goes into the general fund, no different than my money does.

Why refuse to give them back their money?.

A lot of multi-milliondollar corporations don't pay incometaxes,yet get tons of corporate welfare.

It doesn't make economic or political sense to cut the poor out.

And the 3.5 billion price tag is miniscule.

If someone who earns $26,000 per year has two kids and pays $2,100 in "payroll taxes" and $400 per year in FICA, then receives a $3,000 IRS refund, please pray tell, what entitles them to more of MY MONEY???????

Bovine scattology. You have no clue in what you are talking about. Because of your theory of "corporate welfare" the businesses are relocating overseas because they can no longer increase the prices on their goods to cover the costs of all taxes. Which, by the way, since it's obvious you are not incorporated like some of us FReepers are, is paid by our customers, the same idiots who claim us corporations get "tax breaks for the rich". Please, get a grip.

From a Marxist-Hegelian perspective, I would have to agree.

"And the 3.5 billion price tag is miniscule."

That's true. I just transferred $2 billion out of my savings to contribute to the $15 Billion we are sending to Africa to cure AIDS.

"Why refuse to give them back their money?

By what edict?? Where is it written anyone gets a free ride? The U.S. Constitution??

This is mere political BRIBERY of the underclass for votes -- financed by folks like me.

If YOU want to write out a check made payable to the charity of your choice, have at it.

Who is the Government to steal MY money for THEIR "charity"??

Why refuse to give them back their money?.

FICA is for their retirement. (No doubt you and I will be paying for that, too.)

Have you ever heard the phrase, "From those according to ability, to those according to need"? That's what you're supporting, here. Face it, you're in bed with Karl Marx, philosophically speaking.
