It has been learned that the soon-to-be Great Emperor Obama intends on giving all working individuals a $500 tax cut with $1,000 for married couples.

The key word here is WORKING!!!

What about all those people on disability, retired, collecting unemployment benefits, and the millions who have "slipped thru the cracks" and are not collecting ANYTHING because they are unemployed and their benefits are used up?

Are these people "NON-PEOPLE"?

And how about kids who are in school? They eat, need clothes, and get sick too!

This sounds like something the Great Emperor Bush II would have thought up like the tax rebates we got last year that had "strings" attached to them!

Besides, what can a person do with $500 today? Maybe have a nice dinner and a movie or afford a week''s worth of groceries. $500 sure isn''t going to "jump start" the economy, not when the corporate execs at places like AIG and Bank of America can get their millions with no questions asked!

SIG HEIL, I KNEW OBAMA WOULD START THINKING LIKE ME!!!, BUSH!!!

Those "righteous" Republicans who should have done a better job, but didn''''t, and someday will, are referring to getting off your duff and finding a F*n job- not sitting at home counting on the "change" Obama plans to slowly send you from those who work their butts off. Socialism should be a crime. It does not work in Europe, hence why they want our way of living. You want to change America, first change your attitude.

You didn''t say "Sieg Heil". Now you know the Grand Wizard of the Confederate Party, there is NO Republican Party left outside the Fascist South, will NOT like that!! ROFLMAO I guess YOU think we should just stay with "Trickle Down" even though it has NEVER, not ONCE worked! THAT''S INSANE!! To continue a policy that has NEVER not even for ONE MONTH produced ANYTHING but RED INK is completely INSANE!! Trash those Swastika''s and get some mental help... real soon!!

tax cuts only benefit the employed.

Let them eat cake?

I believe part of the package is an extension of Unemployment benefits as well as a jobs package! Who knows you might end up with a Tax Cut on your NEW job and MORE wages... LOL

Other than bills and food, what does Obama think we will spend $500.00 on? A big screen tv or a good PC?
Now he is coming across as dumb as Bush.

Obama is at least TRYING to fix the problems and make things better for the American people. You have to give him credit for that. He''s not trying to DESTROY the country. Of course whether he will succeed in cleaning up the mess or not depends on THE PEOPLE. How do you do a job well when you constantly have people ripping and tearing you apart every chance they get? It''s almost like they don''t WANT their country to SURVIVE.

I believe they''re also talking about raising and/or extending unemployment benefits (or at least, they were at the end of last year). Even consideration of the unemployed is an improvement over the "Get a ******* job" attitude of the righteous Republicans.
