This is a great explanation of the tax rebate program

recently enacted by Congress. If you don't understand

how it will work maybe this explanation will help:

50,000 people went to a baseball game, but the game

was rained out. A refund was then due to the ticket

holders.

The team was about to mail refunds when a group of

Congressional Democrats stopped them and suggested

that they send out the ticket refunds based on the

Democrat National Committee's interpretation of

fairness.

Originally the refunds were to be paid based on the

price each person had paid for the tickets.

Unfortunately that meant most of the refund money

would be going to the ticket holders that had

purchased the most expensive tickets. This, according

to the DNC, is considered totally unfair. A decision

was then made to pay out the refunds in this manner:

People in the $10 seats will get back $15. After all,

they have less money to spend on tickets to begin

with. Call it an 'Earned Income Ticket Credit.'

Persons 'earn' it by having few skills, poor work

habits, and low ambition, thus keeping them at

entry-level wages.

People in the $25 seats will get back $25, because it

'seems fair.'

People in the $50 seats will get back $1, because they

already make a lot of money and don't need a refund.

After all, if they can afford a $50 ticket, they must

not be paying enough taxes.

People in the $75 luxury box seats will each have to

pay an additional $25 because it's the 'right thing to

do'.

People walking past the stadium that couldn't afford

to buy a ticket for the game each will get a $10

refund, even though they didn't pay anything for the

tickets. They need the most help. They are either lazy

or think that society owes them for just being born.

Sometimes this is known as Affirmative Action.

Now do you understand?

Senators Hillary Clinton or Barak Obama for
