Defining Working Down

I find it outrageous that the Democrats once again want to distribute the wealth. It's an insult to those of us who work and pay income taxes that Pelosi & Company want those who DON'T pay income taxes to get a "rebate"!: "The main sticking point in the negotiations is who the rebate checks should target. Bush has said he wants rebates for those who pay income taxes. But Democrats say such an approach would mean tens of millions of households would get only a partial rebate or none at all -- about 65 million, the liberal Center for Budget and Policy Priorities estimates. That group includes those whose tax bill is so low that their rebate would be much less than $800 or $1,600, as well as low-income households with no income tax liability because of credits and other tax breaks. It would also include households that do not have to file a tax return."
