Poll question: Will you get the maximum benefit from the Obama tax cuts?
That is to say, do you make over $250,000?

1. No, I won't get any because my income is so
low I don't pay taxes anyway. However, I will get 2% off my FICA so I guess that counts for something.

2. Great poll - I am curious to see how many DUers make over 250k.
I am not one of them.

3. I am on SS so what I will get is screwed, we get no $250 like
in the Stimulus Bill, get no cost of living again this year and who knows what cuts we will have in the future.

4. no, but I actually will get a bigger cut
I made too much that most of previous tax cuts phased out for me. However I don't make enough to really make out like the super rich. However more of my salary will now be over the SS tax so I should be a much bigger winner under this plan. Of course it's insane to give me even more of a tax cut. Where will the money go? Bank mostly. If you are already doing well and buying what you want/need more money just isn't very economically stimulative.

10. Not the maximum, but...
I'm all "giddy" over that 2% cut in the payroll tax! It was so generous of them to toss us peasants a few crumbs, wasn't it!
