Help me with my tax cut....
My semi-fundie BIL emailed me a few years back telling me what he was going to do with his Bush tax cut... I forget how much it was.. maybe $1200.

I pointed out to him that his tax cut was really expensive, since it was on top of a couple of wars being fought on the country's Visa card. I also pointed out that his piddly litte rebate was nothing compared to the fat cats' rebates, and their tax cut was going on the Visa card, too.

I want to send him an email pointing out what I'm going to do with my Obama tax cut, since I'm sure Fux Snews hasn't told him everybody with earnings under $250K will get bucks back.

Am I correct that Ms Bigmack and I will get $1200 somehow?

Of course, he's gonna point out how Obama is raising the deficit, but I'm ready for that.

1. My son is a teacher
Doesn't make big bucks by any stretch of the imagination. He bought a small house last year and qualified for the first time home buyer's tax credit. He did his taxes last week and is getting 10 grand back.

Under Bush he always owed a few hundred dollars.

So from his perspective, Obama has been so much better for him than Bush. Anecdotal, I know, but it is what it is.
