These tax cuts in the Senate Bill- Did DEMS fight to give me one too?

[Dr Fate]

I heard that they had to give tax cuts to make this bill easier for people to agree with.

Were they talking about me? I would certainly be more willing to agree with it if this tax cut meant direct cash releief for me. Does it?

I make around $30K a year, and my bills, debts & rent amount to about $5000 per month (I constantly default on my loan payments)- so I end up shelling out about $3000 of that, with zero- I mean ZERO savings.

Surely our good DEMS fought tooth and nail for tax relif for folks like ME as well on this-right?

Will DEMS be giving me any relief in the form of a tax cut- relief similar to what DEMS might be willing to provide for say, a millionare banker?

I hope am not being sarcastic in advnace here- will these tax cuts allow people like me to take home a substantially larger portion of our checks?

If am getting a tax cut- does any whiz kid out there know how much it might be for?

1. No tax cut for you!

2. Tax cuts?

Not only are they going to borrow money to give away but they are going to make it harder for the country to pay back.

They must be certain that McCain is not going to win in November and want to strap Obama with so much that there will be no way he will be able to tackle health care or education.

3. Yes- it's in the news- they are saying "Tax cut relief was added to the bill..."

And I heard the reason was that DEMS thought it would make more people support it.

Apparently I'm not getting one- so I guess I still wont be supporting this.

4. I want them to bail me out for 500,000.00 because I'm not greedy

and I'll use the money well. I'm not in debt for that much, but we'll figure out the details later.

5. I would glady accept a tax cut that let me keep me a mere $5000 extra per year.

But instead, I get to give tax cuts and "rescues" and "bail outs" and "relief" to Republican constituents and millionare bankers, I guess.

So this is what was supposed to make more people support the bill? Makes no sense.

6. If you're not rich, you get nothing.......but you will get the bill.

7. The DEMS just keep saying "this bill now provides tax relief"

But they wont say for who. I think they might actually be trying to fool people into thinking regular people are going to get a tax cut.

They wouldnt do such a thing, would they? Hopefully they will come out in full force and explain this part more clearly.

In any event, I guess I should have known there was nothing in this for the rabble.
