I hear you. Amen!

But here's why they aren't going to give you more money. Much needed money. They want you to spend it--frivolously! And the poor folks in this country probably won't do that. Instead, they'll be responsible and pay bills or loans or mortgages or something else like that. But the Rich. Oh the rich. They may spend a little on bills or whatnot, but mostly, they are free to use that money on retail and such. And that is why the rich get a lot of money and the poor get a mere $300.

Sorry about that. misslynn usually has very reputable links and sources that explain her point. This particular story did not. But I found an article on MSN that does explain her point (that the rebate is due back): http://articles.moneycentral.msn.com/Taxes/Advice/TheDetailsOnTaxRebates.aspx

That ought to explain things a little better.
