BWAAAHAAAHAAHAA…! Can I write a headline or what?!

“Conservative Republicans were likely to be restless over tax rebates going to those without income tax liability.”

The hell you say! Actually, conservative logic dictates that money giveaways should go directly into the offshore accounts of big oil. Haven’t you people ever heard of “peed on”… er, “trickled on”… nope, ummm, “trickle down” before? By God, it works!

Deal Reached on Tax Rebates for Stimulus

WASHINGTON (AP) — Democrats running Congress and the Bush administration reached a tentative deal Thursday on $300-$1,200 tax rebates and business tax cuts to jolt the slumping economy.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi agreed to drop increases in food stamp and unemployment benefits during the Wednesday meeting in exchange for gaining rebates of at least $300 for almost everyone earning a paycheck, including low-income earners who make too little to pay income taxes.

Families with children would receive an additional $300 per child, subject to an overall cap of perhaps $1,200, according to a senior House aide who outlined the deal on condition of anonymity in advance of formal adoption of the whole package. Rebates would go to people earning below a certain income cap, likely individuals earning $75,000 or less and couples with incomes of $150,000 or less.

Democrats running Congress…” Sorry, this just cracks me up!

With my free money, I’m going to be a good American and go shopping! What say you?
