Evidence

Post #341,777 by beepster 4/21/11 4:50:47 PM Reply	Evidence of you drinking the koolaid. 1) He said as much in his budget address...listen to it again. 2) Benefit means exactly that. YOU are adding proportionality to it, not I. If you took home more, regardless of how much...you benefited. And it was a couple grand in many cases for "middle class". 3) We all, rich, poor, middle, corporations...you know...everybody...and cuts will need to be made...everywhere (including defense..which Obama seems to have left alone in current proposals...more "change") Sure, understanding today's complex world of the future is a little like having bees live in your head. But...there they are.

In other words, you're changing the meaning. $10 more a week at the beginning of a period of inflation and no raises by the end of the period doesn't leave you better off. Being stuck in place in the economy isn't a benefit. Federal tax policy has an impact on these things. 3) See my reply to Jake. Cheers, Scott.

You are "qualifying" the term benefit. Def 2..a payment or gift. By changing the code, you paid less. Thats a benefit. http://www.thedailys...011-ricky-gervais Even Jon heard it...5:30 He just called it "cutting spending in the tax code". 35% of filers itemize. 45% don't pay. Hmm. How's that math degree? Sure, understanding today's complex world of the future is a little like having bees live in your head. But...there they are.
