If she really is a single mother making less than 20k/year, then she qualifies for the EITC and pays NO taxes:

How is this fair? Seriously, how?

I just spoke with my Mom who is a tax preparer (including mine) and she confirmed that I will be received less from the government come tax time. I am a single member of the working poor who makes less than 20k a year.
Bill Gates will be getting more money this year. I will be getting less.
Please tell me now that is fair?
Personally, I was for all the tax cuts expiring, but goddammit, Bill ****ing Gates over the working poor???
Indefensible.
-
She will get a small amount less than last year since the 2% reduction in FICA is replacing the "Making Work Pay" tax break. I think.
-
In the first place, Bill Gates will be getting THE SAME amount of money next year he got this year.
If you are getting less, remember,
"IT'S ALL OBAMA'S FAULT!"

Fairness is not a practicable governing philosophy as what is "fair" to one likely won`t be to another.
Is it fair to tell Bill Gates that the result of his lifes work and how it has affected all of our qualities of living should be confiscated simply for no other reason then I don`t have as much?
Fairness is what little children fuss about regarding who got a bigger piece of cake...some of us do grow up and stop fretting over such drivel.

Aside for her awful grammatical mistakes, her thought process is all backward. She is considering how much the government will be "paying" her at tax time, rather than comparing it to how much she paid. If she is making $20,000 now, what was she making last year? Was she bumped into a new bracket? She apparently overpaid this year and last year, but maybe she reduced how much she was paying based on last years refund.

I was just going to mention that. :mental:

Hell Hath No Fury, become more productive and you will cease to be the working poor.

She's smarter than most DUmmies - at least she didn't use an apostrophe.
-
She's prolly bitchin' because her dependent children are no longer eligible for the EIC! You know, FREE MONEY!

Is she a mother? She says she's a single "member", not single "mother".

It's not. Now embrace the suck and move the **** on.

Don't worry dear DUmbass, Obama will get you your free pony in 2013.
OH and ZERO BONG!

Hey, Fury:
**** you. I just did a rough calculation of MY return. Ya see, I'd LIKE to be able to NOT get a refund, because I don't really like the idea of giving the government an interest-free loan. But since I'm single with no dependents, I get the max taken out. Then I have to figure out my taxes, deductions, etc., and get my refund.
But you know what REALLY burns my ass? You're bitching about "getting less back" when in REALITY, you're getting a refund that EXCEEDS what you paid in, given that you'll get EIC, making work pay credits, etc., etc. IOW, I'm supporting your worthless ass because you have a NEGATIVE tax liability overall. I, OTOH, pay about 20-25 percent of my income in federal taxes because I can't claim all those cool programs you get.
Suck it, DUmmie. Suck it long and hard.

Are you really comparing yourself to Bill Gates?
If that's the case, Oprah made more money than me this year. How is THAT fair?

Because you have no marketable skills that anyone wants to buy.

Did I ever tell you that Windows 7 was my idea? :rotf:

People did want to buy Vista, for whatever reason. This DUmmie can barely get a sentence out that is coherent. :-)

Less than $20K and you need a tax preparer? How damn dumb can you be? :mental:

Try this on for size DUmmy.
How about creating a product that the public wants? Get a patent and then market it. Is it "FAIR" that he had to start out that way?
You ****in' liberals/DUmmies think you are entitled to everything.

Yeah, there is a whole lot missing from this story.

Hey...that is a lot of Cheetos receipts to keep track of. :-)

I guess she hasn't seen Obama's new "simplified" tax form:
1--How much did you make last year?
2--Send it in.

Here, here! The best I have ever done was 17%! And I have to admit it was just a little shady!
