Losers who don't pay federal income taxes and then actually receive an Earned Income Tax Refund check are the ones who have ruined this country. No wonder they love the Nanny State, they keep taking money from it, and contribute nothing.
Okay, I played along with this one long enough. I usually get a refund, because I have extra taken out of my paycheck every week, just in case. I also pay payroll tax, SocSec, and sales taxes (businesses don't pay that). I don't even remember saying I got an Earned Income Tax Credit, but you seem TOO interested in it. I don't usually kick a guy when he's down, but you're making it look like I'm taking food out of babies' mouths, SO:
1) Aren't tax refunds a GOOD thing in the eyes of radical conservatives like you? If so, that would mean you're not really for low taxation, you're an elitist, and you don't believe in equality. Choose a side, and show some guts, for once.
2) Are unemployment checks taxable? Do you pay the full burden of taxes for a U.S. citizen? Be honest, for once.
3) Do you support Obama's plan to extend unemployment compensation for another 6 months, or are you ready to work at McDonald's yet? Remember, there's nothing wrong with taking a lesser-paying job, that's all there are, if you're lucky. Be humble, for once.
4) I've always worked at least two income streams, my entire adult life. I worked 2 jobs yesterday. My wife does, indeed, make more money than me... she has a degree, and works her ass off, too... she deserves it. How about you, Joe? Do you still deserve to be on unemployment? How's the job-search coming? Again, I always try to be cool when somebody's hurting, but how about we look at YOUR reality, and how you like to swipe at everyone else for doing what YOU do, for once.
Without the "nanny state" you'd be selling your plasma right now, so cut a slice of humble pie and wash it down with your Tea, and STFU.
