Free
Money for Everybody!* by
Bill Sardi Get yourself a new I-Phone, or an I-pod. Order it today because your "tax rebate" check will be in the mail soon!* Just stick the charge on your credit card because the money is headed your way to pay for your purchase.* In a distortion of the principle of a government that "of the people, by the people, and for the people (Abraham Lincoln)," the current economic stimulus program now being finalized Congress would provide a tax rebate for nearly all wage earners of at least $300, plus an additional $300 per child, up to a $1200 limit.* A working mother on welfare with three children, who pays no taxes, will receive a well-needed $1200. This is despite the fact the bottom 20% of wage earners pay no tax and the bottom 40% pay 1% of Federal tax revenues. How can they do this, do you ask? Because the Federal Government just prints more money, with no consideration that it fuels inflation. Keep the masses happy. Love every politician today! Hey, can't make your mortgage payment this year when loan rates adjust upwards? Why not petition for a $5000 tax rebate? Call your Congressional representative today, and demand more free money! They've been keeping it from us all this time. *Sorry, no rebate checks for wage earners who made more than $75,000 or $150,000 per couple, who pay the majority of the Federal Income taxes.
