This is a great explanation of the tax rebate
program recently enacted by Congress. If you
don't understand how it will work maybe this
explanation will help:
50,000 people went to a baseball game, but
the game was rained out. A refund was then
due to the ticket holders. The team was
about to mail refunds when a group of
Congressional Democrats stopped them and
suggested that they send out the ticket
refunds based on the Democrat National
Committee's interpretation of fairness.
Originally the refunds were to be paid
based on the price each person had paid
for the tickets. Unfortunately that meant
most of the refund money would be going
to the ticket holders that had purchased
the most expensive tickets. This, according
to the DNC, is considered totally unfair.
A decision was then made to pay out the
refunds in this manner:
People in the $10 seats will get back $15.
After all, they have less money to spend on
tickets to begin with. Call it an 'Earned
Income Ticket Credit.'Persons 'earn' it by
having few skills, poor work habits, and
low ambition,thus keeping them at entry-
level wages.
People in the $25 seats will get back $25,
because it 'seems fair.'
People in the $50 seats will get back $1,
because they already make a lot of money
and don't need a refund. After all, if they
can afford a $50 ticket, they must not be
paying enough taxes.
People in the $75 luxury box seats will each
have to pay an additional $25 because it's
the 'right thing to do'.
People walking past the stadium that couldn't
afford to buy a ticket for the game each will
get a $10 refund, even though they didn't
pay anything for the tickets. They need the
most help. They are either lazy or think that
society owes them for just being born. Some
-times this is known as Affirmative Action.
