At last, a clear explanation of how the Democrats view the tax system.
This baseball analogy works for me. Hope it helps you to understand this heretofore mysterious process.
TAX REFUND
IF YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND THE DEMOCRAT'S VERSION OF TAX CUTS (AND YOU ARE NOT ALONE), THIS WILL EXPLAIN IT FOR YOU:
FIFTY THOUSAND PEOPLE WENT TO A BASEBALL GAME, BUT THE GAME WAS RAINED OUT. A REFUND WAS THEN DUE.
THE TEAM WAS ABOUT TO MAIL REFUNDS WHEN THE CONGRESSIONAL DEMOCRATS STOPPED THEM AND SUGGESTED THAT THEY SEND OUT REFUND AMOUNTS BASED ON THE DEMOCRAT NATIONAL COMMITTEE'S INTERPRETATION OF FAIRNESS. AFTER ALL, IF THE REFUNDS WERE MADE BASED ON THE PRICE EACH PERSON PAID FOR THE TICKETS, MOST OF THE MONEY WOULD GO TO THE WEALTHIEST TICKET HOLDERS.
THAT WOULD BE UNCONSCIONABLE.
THE DNC PLAN SAYS: PEOPLE IN THE $10 SEATS WILL GET BACK $15, BECAUSE THEY HAVE LESS MONEY TO SPEND. CALL IT AN "EARNED INCOME TICKET CREDIT". PERSONS "EARN" IT BY DEMONSTRATING LITTLE AMBITION, FEW SKILLS AND POOR WORK HABITS, THUS KEEPING THEM AT ENTRY-LEVEL WAGES.
PEOPLE IN THE $15 SEATS WILL GET BACK $15, BECAUSE THAT'S ONLY FAIR.
PEOPLE IN THE $25 SEATS WILL GET BACK $1, BECAUSE THEY ALREADY MAKE A LOT OF MONEY AND DON'T NEED A REFUND. IF THEY CAN AFFORD A $25 TICKET, THEN THEY MUST NOT PAYING ENOUGH TAXES.
PEOPLE IN THE $50 LUXURY SEATS WILL HAVE TO PAY ANOTHER $50, BECAUSE THEY HAVE WAY TOO MUCH TO SPEND.
THE PEOPLE DRIVING BY THE STADIUM WHO COULDN'T AFFORD TO WATCH THE GAME WILL GET $10 EACH, EVEN THOUGH THEY DIDN'T PAY ANYTHING IN, BECAUSE THEY NEED THE MOST HELP.
NOW DO YOU UNDERSTAND?
IF NOT CONTACT REPRESENTATIVE RICHARD GEPHART OR SENATOR TOM DASCHLE FOR ASSISTANCE.
