Here is the Joint Committee on Taxation's breakdown of the so-called tax cuts which are not tax cuts. As you will see, this is more endless tinkering with the tax code to push the liberal agenda. A $400 tax credit (which nets $8/week in 2010 for the average worker eligible) is not a tax cut. Even if we believe these numbers the total tax-related "stimulus" in 2009 is just over $90 billion -- a fraction of the total bill.

Comment by Jennifer McCulloch on February 16, 2009 at 12:23am: Our tax cut is a joke! For one thing an individual gets $400.00 which as they say will equal out to $8.00 a week until the whopping sum of $400.00 runs out? All of this wasteful spending that working Americans are forced to pay for and we get an insult of $8.00 a week, before taxes? As usual working legual Americans get screwed! I knew Obama was going to tear our country apart and now there is proof. This Stimulus is created simply to let these people spend what they want while we pay for it forever and ever! I hope you dummies that voted for Obama are real happy cause your in there with the rest of us paying for his evil agenda. God in Heaven help us!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Comment by cesca55 on February 15, 2009 at 6:24pm: SLAVES....how ironic that this empty suit in the White House (doesnt deserve the title PRESIDENT), that wants to be looked upon as another Lincoln/Martin Luther King/Kennedy, and he has with his shifty language and black suave talk, has drawn these blind ignorant robots back to slavery. Ha! and they dont even realize it. I dont want to reshort to childish name calling but my experiences has brought me to say what other people think but wont say it. I ran into an hispanic the other day (by the way, I am American born and raised and of Hispanic desent) and he said he couldnt believe that I, a hispanic, wasnt for bamidiot. He went on to say, How could I be a republican being mexican and not a democrat. He is like Lincoln.
This is the mentality of most people black, white, or hispanic. If, in my case, if youre hispanic you must be catholic and democrat.
I told him dummy, Lincoln was a Republican. And obamidiot is not for the people. I am so fustrated that some white, black, and others say, "This is government thats why I dont vote or listen to the news."
I told that person, "MY PEOPLE PARISH BECAUSE OF LACK OF KNOWLEDGE. bury your head in the sand, but you will come back to me and tell me, I was right."
I work in a big company that condones or makes provisions for the Gays, Abortions, and other things that have brought our country to where its at, I dont know where to start to get people to open their eyes. They dont want to read or hear anything. One person told me THEY won, get over it. Sounds like Nancy Pelosi clone.

Comment by Pat Chambless on February 15, 2009 at 10:30am: Pat Chambless; We are in deep trouble and we MUST STOP this by doing all we can to get the Dems out of office.

Comment by Cy Hilterman on February 15, 2009 at 9:58am: When are we ever going to find out exactly what is in this new stimulus bill? As huge as it is I would not be afraid to bet that not one Senator or Congressman has read the entire bill. Thye voted for party lines only
1 They could have voted for a huge salary increase for some group--they don't know!

Comment by Elayne Allen on February 15, 2009 at 9:52am: Get involved with your state group and lets start action plans. Missouri has several groups holding meetings. When we get plans we will start to post them so the good people of the resistance can actually start to act. We have to get together so we can show them there is strength in numbers. One of my suggestions, when we meet is get a list of all the state and federal elected officials and see what their voting record and action record is. We can (together) start to campaign against them now. Be sure to include the liberal boondoggles that even those that don't usually vote can see what is being done. Then each state and district needs to sponser or run a better candidate. etc. etc. etc.

Comment by greg mcgowan on February 14, 2009 at 4:54pm: has anyone found where HR 45 has gone? did it get stuffed in w/ the stimulus bill?

Comment by Elayne Allen on February 14, 2009 at 12:30pm: Okey every body the time has come. You must join your state groups, start having meetings, plans of action and then we will figure out how to get our groups together. There is much we can do, but we need to get organized. I am Missouri. We will start having small meetings and then combine them. there is much we can do, but it will take work, dedication and sacrifice. We are Americans, we have resolve and we can do it. Lets teach the messiah man what the Lincolns followers can really do.
