It turns out your tax cut was just your gas money to pay W's oil buddies.

What good's a tax cut if you have to pay oil companies at the pump to fund $150 million severence packages for King George's friends?

Say it with me now. Repeat repeat repeat. Reword slightly. Repeat again.

2. What tax cut?

If your household brought in less than $100,000, I challenge you to prove that your tax load was decreased.

6. True enough

But any number of people think they got a tax cut just because the teevee tells them they got a tax cut. For the dopes who buy that, it's useful to tell them that their tax cut (yeah, they didn't get one) is going to pay the severance package for the outgoing Exxon CEO. He's getting over a hundred million dollars, Cletus. You get to fill up the tank on your Geo for forty bucks.

7. tax cut

comparing the 2004 tax tables to 2005, I paid around 700 less this year than I would have in 2004.

However, my fuel costs have nearly doubled, eating the entire cut..and then some.

8. Jokes on them! I didn't GET a tax cut! Ha ha!

For about five seconds, I thought that we would get almost $40 in the temporary tax decrease on dividends, but no! It doesn't apply to REIT stock. Dodged the bullet.

9. I got a really big tax cut thanks to *. His policy of shipping computer

jobs overseas has resulted in my paying 0 taxes for 2 years now! This is great. Now if I only had an income that I could do anything with, being unemployed for most of the last 2 years.
