Forget the $800.00 advance that we will have to pay back next year...thus putting taxpayers further in debt, and

QUIT FUNDING THE ILLEGAL WAR IN IRAQ!

1. Rescind the past six years of tax cuts for the top tax brackets. Or at the very least,
DON'T MAKE THEM PERMANENT!

4. It's not even a damned rebate...
it's an advance on next year's refund? What happens if you don't get a refund? You have to give that money (which you've already spent) back to the government!

WTF?
