Oh, yeah, and remember that great tax refund everyone got? 300 dollars or whatever?
Never saw a dime. We made too much money. Both of our parents work full time jobs, then do work at home to meet deadlines... then we get to give it to the government so they can give it away for people to buy ammo, expensive dinners, and movie tickets. I am sure my parents enjoyed watching everyone else get 300 dollars, after the late nights of hard work. I know I enjoyed having my residence turned into an office at times.
Next time you get your government handout... remember those of us who actually payed for it.
Colt et al,
While I am certainly no proponent of socialism, and I have personally never benefited from any .gov handouts, I can understand some of the rationale for accepting it, and that is a personal issue (personally, if I had accepted it, I would be ashamed and would not be bragging about it on the forums).
As for the Economic Stimulus checks of 2008:
EVERY Federal Tax Filer for 2007 received a check, so before you tell everyone that your parents paid too much in taxes, make sure to confirm that they actually filed taxes for 2007.
