Anna Connor, a mother of two from Albany, N.Y....

"It's not going to make a big difference for me," she said of her expected check. "I feel bad for the people who need it and aren't going to get it."

Aw come on lady it wasn't taken from their taxable income to begin with. And spare me the "they paid gas, cigs, sales etc. tax crap. So did I and that is not what is being refunded. No income tax liability means you paid nothing so you get nothing back from nothing. To get something back from giving nothing is pure redistribution. We already enjoy giving the poor redistributed money through EIC.

This is how long it took scrape up the 10 or so people who will find a way to say a rose is ugly. How many months now?

"I'm very angry," said Linda Hayes, 40, an office manager in Grand Rapids, Mich. A single mother, she supports a 14-year-old son and 9-year-old daughter on a $23,000 salary.

Where's daddy? I would rather he (and her) support their offspring than expect me to do it.

"I'd rather have the public services and the public schools have the money they need," said Jean Powers, 41, a mother of two from Beaverton, Ore.

Shut up, lady. I'd rather have the money in my pocket.

[McGavin999]

Give them their EIC checks early. Of course, they'll get a bit of a surprise when they file their zero due taxes and don't get their customary check for $1500 to $2000, but that's the breaks. They say they want it now.

[meow]

They don't want their money? Send it to me.

[suzyq5558]

For millions of middle-class families, the check is in the mail _ $400, $800, perhaps more _ courtesy of Congress.

Courtesy of Congress? How did they earn it?

[Arkinsaw]

Joseph Blow of Schenectady, NY reports that he is very dissatisfied with his $800 check. "I think it shoulda been 800 million. What is this country coming too?"

Ima Weezler of Canton, OH is also most distressed about not getting a check. "I have no children and haven't worked for years. Its not fair that I don't get $400 of somebody elses refunds. Its not my fault I don't have a taxable income and no children!".

Matt Jones feels that he is being discriminated against because he is only 10 years old. "My parents got a refund but I got nothing. The least they could do would be to estimate my future earnings and assume I will have an average number of children sometime in the future and go ahead and rebate that amount. I want a new bike and some Pokemon cards so they could just send those to me instead if thats easier."

Ben Wynan of Miami, FL thinks the government has a long way to go. First, they need to rebate every man woman and child in the country enough money to live on. Then they need to establish a minimum wage where we can all live in luxury. Enough of this raising it a piddling 50 cents an hour, why an inch instead of a mile? Everyone in this country deserves a good education as well. Free college for everyone is the only acceptable policy. There are a lot more things I am for also." When Ben gets his free college scholarship he intends to take an Economics 101 course at his local community college. He plans on using government provided medical care to have his feet removed so he can qualify for disability payments. "I figure that I will use my non-payers tax refund to buy me some Bubble-Up and Rainbow Stew. I've heard a lot about those and want to try me some."

"I'd rather have the public services and the public schools have the money they need," said Jean Powers, 41, a mother of two from Beaverton, Ore. "I'm not happy with it."

This communist is free to donate her rebate to the schools. Has she done this? Why didn't the interviewer ask her if she planned to do this?

"I'm very angry," said Linda Hayes, 40, an office manager in Grand Rapids, Mich. A single mother, she supports a 14-year-old son and 9-year-old daughter on a $23,000 salary.

"I'm tired of working hard and still not being able to provide properly for my children," she said. "I'm tired of having to choose canned vegetables instead of fresh ones. I feel I don't count, my kids don't count."

Where's the father? Maybe if she can't provide properly for her children she should put them up for adoption. Maybe she should have thought about this before she decided to get jiggy with it and conceive two human beings.

It's not going to make a big difference for me," she said of her expected check. "I feel bad for the people who need it and aren't going to get it."

Well, why doesn't he donate this money to a needy family or to a shelter? Was wasn't he asked this in the interview?

"There are better ways to stimulate the economy," agreed Eileen Holand, a real estate agent and mother of three from New Richmond, Wis.

Either the article omitted Eileen Holand's economics degrees from college or Mrs Holand doesn't have any, thus her opinion on what will stimulate the economy doesn't amount to a hill of beans.

Curt Roseman, 32, of Cary, N.C., said the check for his two children would likely go into their college savings plan, not for a shopping spree.

Putting the money into college savings plans will invest it in funds which will result in some company or institution, somewhere, being able to expand its business, thus hiring people.

"It's useful," he said. "As far as stimulating the economy, I don't think so. They (Washington) have tried everything, and nothing seems to work."

This is part of the failing of relying on the liberal news media for his information. Washington has not tried CUTTING THE M*THERF***ING GOVERNMENT SPENDING BY A SINGLE PENNY.

[somemoreequalthanothers]

Had to stop reading this tripe when I got to the part where she said we are cutting funding to schools. Huh? If only.......

[meyer]

Is it time to renew the "tax me more" campaign?

[Newbomb Turk]

I'd rather have the public services and the public schools have the money they need," said Jean Powers, 41, a mother of two from Beaverton, Ore.

Public schools are funded locally. Guess she should have attended more.

Sales and property taxes are a local issue if you want a rebate for that try hitting up your locally elected officials and good luck.

As for me I am pissed that I don't get more money back. After all which Congress man worked 3 jobs to earn the right to give me MY money back!

[bfree]

If they don't want it, they can always send the checks back. If they think the tax rates are too low, they can always send more dollars in to the IRS.

"I'd rather have the public services and the public schools have the money they need," said Jean Powers, 41, a mother of two from Beaverton, Ore. "I'm not happy with it."

Hey DUMBO, no one is forcing you to accept the tax cut. Just send your check back to the government!

[austingirl]

I'd like to hear one coservative commentor say, when the leftists complain that the lower income folk pay social security and medicare tax, that SO DO WE, in addition to the confiscatory federal taxes those "poor" people escape.

[Noumenon]

Parents ought to question of what's being taught in the public schools their tax dollars finance. If a sufficient numbe rof parents ever managed to connect the dots, every NEA officer and flack would be swinging from a rope.

Some Parents Question Wisdom of Tax Cuts

Some parents are idiots.

[ItisaReligionofPeace]

Hmmm. Send the whole thing back then you lying bi--h.

[ItisaReligionofPeace]

I've added a correction in order to make this article accurate:

"Even more displeased are some of the low-income parents not receiving the checks _ notably those who earn less than roughly $26,000 and are excluded from the credit because they don't pay enough federal income tax"

Some Parents Question Wisdom of Tax Cuts

Wisdom is the proper use of knowledge. How can one question wisdom?
