- WHY ARE WE GIVING REBATES TO PEOPLE THAT DID NOT PAY TAXES???
They did not pat taxes because they were too poor.They worked but earned less than the minimum required to pay taxes. This would be some of our elderly, students, part time workers and low paying job holders who barely put food on their table. As long as they earn a paycheck they get a refund. I would be more concerned they were citizens or not than if they were our poor. - Reply to this comment
- Hungry, do you realize that the top 1% had a higher percentage of the income in Clinton''''s last year?

This is a graph of top 1% earnings. Could not find a good one for 2006 but I suspect it is now approaching the peak which occured in the Clinton time period. Actually, most of the income disparity occured in the Clinton 8 years. - Reply to this comment

- Bull. Even as a percentage the only other time we''''ve been close to being this far in debt is during the Reagan debacle of the 1980''''s.

- A lesson on the Federal Reserve....The Federal Reserve
is NOT run by the government. They are a bunch of private elite banker''s such as Rockafeller and Rothchild etc.They create money out of thin air with
nothing to back it up. These banker''s planned to destroy the link between money and gold. They used economic problem''s they created to justify the seizure of the gold. The gold was melted down and taken to Fort Knox, Ky. This ended the gold standard. This illegal Federal Reserve devalued the U.S dollar over 95% since 1913 which slowly robbed the wealth from the american people thru their creation of dollar''s known as inflation.
Bush and congress has totally destroyed our economy
by sending job''s overseas and his disaster IRAQ WAR.
Do not be fooled in to thinking these rebate checks
will jump start the economy. I think Bush knew quite
well the economy was bad but thought he could hold off
the disaster until he left office. Bush and our congress are complete DISASTER''S!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! vote
RON PAUL..HE IS TELLING THE TRUTH ABOUT THE ECONOMY,
NOT LIKE ALL THE OTHER IDIOT CANDIDATES. - Reply to this comment
