Guest guest Posted May 7, 2003 Report Share Posted May 7, 2003 I was up watching CSpan the Ways and Means Committee as they were debating the great new Tax Breaks. A democratic gentleman put forth a provision that would allow the 40,000/year and under to receive THE SAME expedited tax break as the wealthy. This would have been 1/60th of the proposed tax break to the wealthy. The republican from Texas said that the earned income credit these people receive is taken advantage of, and that the people who earn less than 40,000 a year do not know how to spend their money wisely. WTF? I'm literally almost in tears over this, as I feel totally utterly helpless at the hands of these rich monsters who expect us to be their servicepeople at 7 dollars an hour. Yeah, the republicans vetoed the provision. I hope they're feeling generous to charity, maybe they'd know how to spend my money and pay my bills.

Well, not being in debt is probably how you can do it. Debts are expensive. I was debt-free for years; I plan to be again, if you don't count a mortgage.

Guest guest Posted May 8, 2003 Report Share Posted May 8, 2003 But note that these same Congress people manage to get a raise every year. We've taken a hit of $6 per hour since we moved from NH and prices keep going up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
