LOL. That was good man.

IMO--the money should go to income tax payers only.

I have a question I need to know the answer to. Is this money going back to the people going to be taxed as income? If it is not my money, then it is a gift, and I don't have to pay taxes on a gift under 10,000 dollars.

Actually a gift is tax free up to 12,000 dollars and if you are married you and your spouse can give 12k each to the same person. And it is the person that gives the gift that has to report it and they are the one that will have to pay the taxes on it. The person who receives the gift does not have to report it nor are they required to pay taxes on the gift.

Yes. I was talking about TAXABLE income. I assumed that you guys would have understood that as I posted a table which referred to taxable income. I will be sure to state the obvious going forward.

But so then why were you saying "everyone pays taxes" when you knew that only people who made past the taxable threshhold would have to pay?

sku...erd.
 
LadyT said:
Once again, I should have precluded that with a taxable income clause. I thought that was understood with the taxable income tables I posted.

But once AGAIN, I NEVER said that there aren't people that get back more than what they put in. And my original point still stands. The working poor get maligned by conservatives for taking "hand outs" when the middle class get the same type of thing, its somehow okay.

If your Gross unadjusted income is $20, then yes, you do NOT pay federal income taxes.

T, you are full of crap, you said and clearly meant everybody pays income taxes. You reiterated it several times. But whatever...

You are still wrong now because the EIC can reduce your tax liability to zero or a negative amount.

A reduction in ones taxes is not a handout.

Uhhh...... no.......I never said that there weren't cases where some people got back more than what they put in. If I did, then yes, a skewering call would be appropiate, but I didn't.

There are however cases where the working poor get less back than what they put in you conservatives still consider what they get back to be "hand outs" unless the middle class can enjoy those deductions or credits too.

SKEWERED!!!!!

Those don't count, and you know it. Sales tax does not eat up 30 percent of someone's wages, property taxes can be very low, especially in rural areas, and gas taxes are a joke if you live in the city.

No, I not once indicated that weren't people who did not eventually get back what they put in. And once AGAIN....that was not my point nor was it ever.

My point is still the same, "Conservatives are quick to jump down the throats of poor people in general when they get money back which they pay out, yet seem to have a sense of justice when they get money back from that same institution. As seen in this thread. "

So, are you realizing that people who are truly poor do not pay income tax? Their level of income is below the taxable level.

No back peddling here.

If you want to see quality skewering see all of your posts on the Iraq war.

Nice attempted diversion.....

You were not only skewered, but also torched pretty badly on this thread. But please continue to live in denial. It amuses me.

Are you realizing that the working poor also get money back and are frequently maligned by the right for that?

I realize that they often receive entitlement money in that form as well, yes. Are you realizing that they didn't pay yet receive money back because their income was below the taxable levels?
