No. You owe a certain amount based on your income. Any credits are a give back, exactly like a welfare check , except you keep your dignity by rationalizing it like you do.
Except for the fact that if you make below a certain amount it becomes a once a year welfare handout. You can get back far more than you put in. A single mom making $25k a year with two kids could easily get back 4-5k because the deductions don't stop at '0'.
All credits and write offs are welfare. Let's say we have 2 people making $125K. #1 has a house and gets a nice $10K write off. #2 rents and gets diddly. According to Asuck it is their money, but one gets to pay less taxes than the other.
You don't know what you are talking about, Asok. First you say that it is nonrefundable. In the same sentence you deny that it is a gimmedat and say that it is "your own money in the first place".
No, for some people, it isn't.
If you are a single mom making $25k, for example, you will not owe any taxes. Understand? Yet, you'll still get a refund, even though you don't (read carefully) owe any taxes.
Thus it is like a reverse welfare payment, entirely "refundable".
No, and he's not chasing the fiscal conservative vote either. I'm sick and tired of responsible people doing the right thing being made to pay for deadbeats, whether they be minorities, immigrants, or redneck fundie retards.
"fiscal" conservatives are minorities in GOP, the party of big war, big bailouts, big family. Why don't you retard that you belong to the party of borrowing more and spending even more.
Poor babies. I'll trade places with Bill Gates if that'll make him feel better.
