Oh, you must be one of those uncaring wealthy people who Bush gave tax cuts to.
How dare you get $1000 back. You'll only spend it on yourself. :-)

See? There you go spending that money on yourself.

They're still at it. I am a member at Costco and I get the Costco Connections
magazine. This month (January 2005) they have a debate issue of "Do tax cuts
benefit the economy?" On the "no" side a woman from New York City said "We will
spend and spend no matter what. I don't see how tax cuts, which benefit the
rich, will help the general public or the economy."

All that woman knows is what the left and the MSM has told her repeatedly.

 TR> But, now that they have been proven wrong, not one word of apology for
 TR> denouncing Bush for his tax cut. And of course, not one single word of
 TR> appreciation of him for paying lower taxes on their income.

They can't make the connection. They've been lied to by the left so long, they
can't think for themselves.

 TR> Of course, some of those who shouted the loudest about how terrible the
tax
 TR> cut was, don't even `pay' taxes, and so have no experience of paying their

Of course, they want their bennies.

 TR> Every year Clinton was president, my income tax went up and up, till the
last
 TR> two years he was in office I was sending the IRS a check over and above
what
 TR> I'd already paid in.

"Ah tried real hard, but ah couldn't give y'all thet taix cut ah promised."

 TR> The very first year Bush was president I recieved a check for $600 in a
tax

Oh for shame, you weren't paying your "fair share."

 TR> Every year thereafter my income taxes have gone down, and my refund check
is

Not as big as Hienz-Kerry's refund check.

 TR> Where are all these nay-sayers now?

Still whining...

 TR> Strangely silent.

Well, they don't understand economics. Just look at what some of them say about
the debt/deficit/surplus issue.
