Well then I'm still confused cause what you pay is what you read on te form when it's all said and done...

Mookie (like everyone else) has withholding. Then Mookie files and figures out what he has to PAY in federal tax. If mookies withholding was more than he has to pay, he gets a refund. If what Mookie has to pay is more, he sends in a check.

If y'all want mookies insight, some of you need subtitles to go along with your attempts to write.

You pay 2k in witholdings. You get 6k refund. Congrats, you just got 4k dollars from the gov't, likely due to the child tax credit and the EITC.

I mean the biggest collection of welfare collectors are in places like KY and WVA, and that's where the O got his lowest % of votes!

Ummm...thanks for proving my point buster??? We were comparing % of people on welfare for WVA, KY and NY. Your list has WVA as #8, Kentucky as #12 and NY as #15.

Thanks for the backup. ;)

Must be easier to backpedal looking to the left

buster, its okay to man up and admit a gotcha attempt just blew up in your face! Hey, it happens to the best of us. Learn from it and move on. ;)

I accept your admission and won't charge you for the lesson. I would however suggest you may want to clean your hands before you wipe your face off. Your continual pulling of "facts" out of your anus can be messy.

You sound a little butthurt that this didn't work out for you. Sorry if you inadvertently made my case for me but I did thank you for that, so I'm not sure what's up with all the hostility. Why are conservatives so grumpy all the time?

And mookie gave a 0% interest loan of $2000 to the Feds. Mookie is, therefore, not fiscally smart. ;)

WHile I agree it's a no-interest loan, weight that against the penalties and interest they would charge if you didn't keep up with your quarterly taxes. Then it's a bargain at 0%.

Lots to like in the Prez's address last night. Its called "leadership".

I completely forgot about it, what with Tech being busy putting Northern in their place. Do you care to hit the highlights? Anything surprising in there?

Didn't see the speech, but Rubio Jindeled himself giving the response. I'm not sure why anyone agrees to give those responses, they almost always suck.

"Jindaled himself"... sounds kinky.

I'm a bit surprised by how negatively those rock-ribbed conservatives at Slate.com viewed the State of the Union speech. The nicest thing any of them had to say is (paraphrased) that "the reason Obama didn't propose anything worthwhile is because it would be too hard to get it done anyway, because Republicans." Not surprised the speech was terrible, just surprised they couldn't find anything to like about it.

edit: I found one thing:
The president ended his speech on a powerful note, telling the stories of the heroes and victims of gun violence. "They deserve a vote," he said of legislation aimed at limiting the mayhem. "Gabby Giffords deserves a vote!" "The families of Newtown deserve a vote!" "The families of Aurora deserve a vote!" The crowd joined the call, responding to the mix of loss and bravery. It was the kind of swell of emotion that could lead to change after years of resistance. After nearly an hour of the traditional fare, it was like an entirely different speech. Too bad he felt like he needed the other 5,500 words.

He hit the right notes on the budget, immmigration and guns. On guns, he was smart to call for a vote. Why? Because with 90% of the public supporting background checks on all purchases, the only way this doesn't pass is if there is no vote held on it, either through a filibuster or no action taken in the House. Get a vote and it passes.

Moving on, Prez is right to embrace Simpson-Bowles on Medicare and also right to insist on a balanced approach as in more revenue. Crap like oil tax breaks, carried interest, etc need to go. This is a chance to do so.

Where I disagree with the O is on the sequester. While a plan to make more surgical cuts is certainly a worthwhile goal, I'm all for letting the sequester go through. If you can get big cuts through to the bloated defense budget by agreeing to domestic cuts for half as much, that's a deal I'll take any day of the week. So, if 100bn a year is the goal (its actually a little less because less debt interest payments count as savings) then you get 67Bn a year in defense cuts for 33Bn in domestic spending cuts. I'm sure the govt can find 33Bn a year in the budget rather easily so let the thing get enacted.
