If you don’t understand the Democrats’ version of tax refunds, maybe this will help explain it:
50,000 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 a group of Congressional
Democrats stopped them and suggested that they send out the ticket
refunds based on the Democrat National Committee’s interpretation of
fairness.
Originally the refunds were to be paid based on the price each person
had paid for the tickets. Unfortunately that meant most of the refund
money would be going to the ticket holders that had purchased the most
expensive tickets. This, according to the DNC, is considered totally
unfair. A decision was then made to pay out the refunds in this manner:
People in the $10 seats will get back $15. After all, they have less
money to spend on tickets to begin with. Call it an “Earned Income Ticket
Credit.” Persons “earn” it by having few skills, poor work habits, and
low ambition, thus keeping them at entry-level wages
People in the $25 seats will get back $25, because it “seems fair.”
People in the $50 seats will get back $1, because they already make a
lot of money and don’t need a refund. After all, if they can afford a
$50 ticket, they must not be paying enough taxes.
People in the $75 luxury box seats will each have to pay an
additional $25 because it’s the “right thing to do”.
People walking past the stadium that couldn’t afford to buy a ticket
for the game each will get a $10 refund, even though they didn’t pay
anything for the tickets. They need the most help. Sometimes this is
known as Affirmative Action.
Now do you understand ?
If not, contact Representative Nancy Pelosi, Senator Ted Kennedy or
Senator Hillary Clinton for assistance.
