re: #308 shanec99

Are we sure this is the Democratic Obama?
He is proposing $500 tax cut for individuals
$1,000 for couples if one spouse is working
$100 million for businesses
[Link: news.yahoo.com…] the loonie left are gonna be mad at him… less money for them to expand government.

From the link:

The Obama plan’s tax cuts for individuals and couples would be a bit different from the rebate checks sent out last year by the Bush administration and Congress in a bid to boost the slowing economy. The relief this time around would be awarded by withholding less from worker paychecks. That provision would cost about $140-150 billion over two years.

Damn, that language pisses me off! Cost? Cost?! It’s not costing a damn thing for people to keep their own frickin’ money! How about the msm and Washington get something straight- allowing Americans to keep their own money is not an expense.
