[quote:ba0d9]It is true that everybody who paid federal income taxes is getting a cut. But according to the nonpartisan Tax Policy Center , 35.6 million individuals and families got zero benefit from the Bush cuts because their income was so low they were not paying federal income taxes before the cuts. This number includes 15.1 million workers who are paying federal payroll taxes for Social Security and Medicare. That's 15 million "taxpayers" who were left out.[/quote:ba0d9]

If you didn't pay the tax, no you can't get money back. And everybody pays into Social Security and Medicare, everyone. Hell, last year I made around $1900, not much I know. I didn't have to pay any income Taxes, but I still payed Social Security, everybody does. No, Bush's plan didn't give refunds for social security "taxes", did anybody really expect that??? We pay that money for the benifit of those on Social Security or Medicare, Which we may be on one day ourselves. To give that money back to those 15 million "taxpayers" would be to 'disenfranchise' people who need social security or medicare, and have themselves been paying into it their entire lives.[/quote:ba0d9]

Right, what is this about? If you dont pay taxes (dont make the minimum) you arent going to get a tax break. I dont understand why you put these paragraphs. I quoted the White House ONCE (although I try not to quote any administration using their own statistics) but I quoted it because it is its own budget list and not a stance or claim on any particular issue.
