		<description>I just did my taxes and it read that I would have gotten a make work pay credit check directly from the Department of Treasury. I did not get any info. regarding more money in my paycheck and the Federal with holdings changing until the amount of the stimuls was paid back. So, if I claimed it and already got it with knowledge, I will have to pay back with interest?</description>

		<description>This Making Work Pay Credit is a joke.  I called the IRS and spoke to 100474103 and she told me that what I put on my 2009 tax return and got in 2010 --$372.71 was added to my refund check and should be claimed against the $400 credit in 2010.  So it&#039;s $400 for 2009 and 2010.  So basically, I have to pay back the $5 per week they added to my pay check each week.</description>

		<description>Thanks for your thoughts. I was just about to lose hope there was still somebody out there that understands some of the big picture. In the land of politicts where yes means no and no means yes it is very hard to understand the big picture. I feel privileged to pay my taxes in this great country ,no matter who is in washington at the moment.</description>

		<description>This is the silliest idea for a stimulus yet. I just got done doing my sister&#039;s taxes. Last year she got back about $1,000 fed. This year she would have gotten about $600 except the Making Work Pay Stimulus Credit gave her $400 raising it to $1,000 again. They came up with this money by changing her tax with-holding throughout the year so that she ended up having $400 less with-held from her pay. If they would have just left things alone she would have gotten the same $400 anyway. Either way she gets $1,000 back on her federal taxes. Where&#039;s the stimulus in that? It&#039;s just goofy.</description>

		<description>No.  Two specific comments, one concerning the &quot;civil&quot; assault on two GOP activists, and one concerning the &quot;civil&quot; tea party crashers, have not appeared.

I am giving the $800 to tea party activists, to CWA, and to MoRTL.  I assume that all good little socialists who don&#039;t &quot;need&quot; the money will be giving it to those who they feel have such &quot;need.&quot;

Forced redistribution of wealth is a form of stealing based on covetousness or greed.</description>

		<description>I have noticed all your comments- they don&#039;t always appear at the bottom of the thread- they are interspersed depending on what you reply to.

As far as your &quot;question&quot; Yes, we are contributing the money in several ways. We actually contribute quite a bit of money to various charities, good causes, all the time.  Also, I don&#039;t use herb ( but I enjoy a good dark beer once and a while)- sorry to disappoint and not be your &quot;ideal civil socialist extraordinaire&quot;</description>

		<description>I take it I am being censored, since my last two comments have not appeared.  Oh, well.  No one expects to have free speech much longer in this country anyway.</description>

		<description>I forgot.  I also want to thank the Civil Socialist, on behalf of the roughly 60% of voters who want the healthcare bill repealed, for the ever so &#039;civil&#039; way you Bolsheviks shoved that law down everyone&#039;s throat.

And I have a civil question.  Have you always been this delusional?</description>

		<description>Johnny the Genius, child propagandist and civil socialist extraordinaire, says:

We are going to steal from honest people and take the money for ourselves.  You won&#039;t stop us.  As Obama said, the time for debate is over.  You will do as you&#039;re told.

Oh, and can&#039;t you please take it up the a__ civilly?</description>

		<description>Just so you have this straight. This tax credit is part of the Economic Stimulus and Recovery Act of 2009, the one where Barack Obama borrowed $800 BILLION from China... so you can have a $400 break on you taxes... ONE TIME.

So buy an extra 12-pack and bag of herb tonight with your $400. If he  keeps you drunk and stoned, he can keep making you think he cares.</description>

		<description>But you didn&#039;t answer the question, Comrade Civil One.  Are you, the ultimate moral icon, and are all your just-too-good-for-their-britches socialist friends, going to redistribute your OWN wealth?  Are you going to give your $400 to the poor?  Is your wife going to give her $400 to the poor?  Or do you only favor wealth redistribution when you are the parasite who gets the money?

Remember the words you live by, Comrade:  From each according to his ability, to each according to his need.</description>

		<description>I would also agree with you that the economy has gotten worse in many areas since Obama took office. (wow- how civil of me!)   HOW COULD the economy NOT get worse- the economy is screwed up right now and will continue to be crap for many months to come.  There have been many indicators showing that the destruction that the previous 16 years of &quot;leadership&quot; is starting to slow down (yes, I included both R and D presidencies- how civil of me.)

 This is not something ANYONE could or should (except you and your friends) expect to be turned around in 15 months!

by the way- no feelings hurt here because I could care less about you and your childish ways of having a discussion.  I wouldn&#039;t advertise who you got your Doctorate from- they might not like the bad press! (not very civil of me I guess)</description>

		<description>Johnny&#039;s Feelings Are Hurt!

Poor Johnny.  I have been rude to him by denigrating socialists.  He takes it personally.  All paranoid personalities do this.

But Johnny is a good man.  And he hates greedy people.  He and his wife make more than enough money.  So they are going to give their $800 to the families of the children in their community who are out of work.  Every good Democrat with a secure job is going to do this.  THEY aren&#039;t greedy people.  You and your wife ARE going to do that, aren&#039;t you?

Please tune in tommorrow for our next fairy tale.</description>

		<description>LOL You want to talk about jobs record?  The unemployment rate would now be 2 points lower if businesses/capitalists were not afraid of the radical socialists/communists in the evil office and the congress.

This nonsense of attributing everything that happens during a president&#039;s term exclusively to him, is something that you socialists use when it is convenient for you.  Of course, when it is NOT convenient, like now, you blame what is happening on a previous president.  Obama has been in power for 15 months. The economy has only gotten worse.  AND he has a Democrat congress.  But one does not attribute that to him.  Oh no, that is Bush&#039;s legacy.  And what about the extraordinary deficits that Obama has insured will materialize on the watch of other presidents?  Well, those you will blame on any Republican president who inherits them.

The truth is that the legislative branch has as much or more to do with what happens in this country as the president.  Democrats controlled congress for much of Bush&#039;s presidency.

Thomas Sowell is an economist, and a much better one than you.  In his book concerning the mortgage mess, The Housing Boom and Bust, he blames the mortgage crisis on government policies.  Government socialized loan risk while allowing pseudo-capitalists to profit.  More like corporatism than real capitalism. In a free market economy where lenders knew they were assuming the risk, the types of loans that are being defaulted on today would never have been made.  Stupid socialist policies caused the economic crisis.  Period.</description>

		<description>Socialist thinking in NO way got us into this economic mess.  Greed of investors and executives got us into this mess.  Wow, do you know anything about economics?  Was my major in college...in your home state of MO!

Come on, the mortgage mess was set up by the banks to take advantage of people who can&#039;t afford something....&quot;the people&quot; didn&#039;t set up the flexible rate mortgage...bankers did!

And yes, the education system is messed up- big time. I agree with you there.  

BTW- I am not moving anyplace because diversity is what this country is all about....get over it....and hopefully you will stop calling those that are different from you rude names.  Are we back in the 60&#039;s again? Maybe you never left.</description>
