“Rebates would go to people earning below a certain income cap, likely individuals earning $75,000 or less and couples with incomes of $150,000 or less.”

So because we’re pulling in more than $150,000, we’ve been given the "privilege" of subsidizing rebates to those who make less?

And what did The Beast once say about taking from some to provide for the masses? This is the same thing, only I’m being granted this "privilege" by a Republican president.

Un-fracking-believable. Our reward for being successful.

Don’t forget to say thank you. :-P

It’s insane what’s considered “wealthy” today. An income of $150,000 for two people is about the beginning of “upper middle class”. That $150,000 is just about the equivalent of $75,000 in 1980, and doesn’t go all that far.

It is indefensible that every taxpayer doesn’t receive this rebate, and also that those who don’t work or pay may receive it. The percentage of those couples with over $150K income is quite small regardless, so it wouldn’t affect revenue all that much. In fact, if you didn’t pay those who don’t pay in, I bet it would come out even or better. ;-)

The government robs from Selected Peter to pay Collective Paul.
