Well at least you admit it and corrected it and didn't intentionally mislead. Now you can agree that it is not smart to get so much taken out in taxes that you get money back?

I've been adding up all the money I've not been spending because of my circumstance of not having any, and it is huge!

Conservatives believe that the way to get rich is to not spend money.

Maybe I WILL be rich soon!

Like Papa Bush said, "just stay the course".

Most people get money back when filing their taxes because they overpay into their taxes. You can always take your full paycheck and pay out only what you owe in taxes come tax time.

Petch needs to get on the dole where government rewards failure.!!! He can reap the rewards of those out there that would be paying for the failures of others rather than him paying for the failure of others.

Good, but it's not to save money for the sake of saving it. That's a losers game. I don't see rich people living in slum houses so you can't say they don't spend money.

While people are out spending their money, buying liabilities, playing rich, the wealthy have already set the foundation to becoming rich. Investing money so it makes them money, an income, money they will spend to to live on and buy things. Do you see the difference?

The upper middle class are in the process of setting the foundation but Obama keeps pointing at them and calling them rich and keeps raising taxes on them which keeps them down. Understanding how it works also helps you. Obama is counting on you to remain uneducated which will in turn keep you poor.

My goodness. That is exactly what Obama is doing. This is Obama correcting "income equality". The poor will always be poor but with the help of the middle class, they will have a bit more. The only "weight" the poor are experiencing is the increase of government benefits. Who do you think has always carried the poor? Who will the government rely on as the middle class that has been shrinking and can no longer take care of a growing population that is government/taxpayer reliant?

You are looking in the wrong direction, especially if you think the poor are living a life of luxury with all government handouts.

Never buy into a politician who says that raising taxes is the answer, he's just on a money grab and it will never be enough just like you want to make more money because it isn't enough. Next he may point to you and call you rich and grab more from you, don't put it past any greedy politician. He is grabbing money from people who need "income" to live on and hopefully build wealth. People dream of being rich or at least upper middle class. If you make the upper middle class dream he will pointing at you while the uneducated cheer him on. Get back down there!

I see you are stuck on a loop, worked your way into a corner so you went back to your OP. Good job keeping your whine going.

You should never trust a politician that tells you they want to lower taxes because they mean they want to lower the taxes for their wealthy buddies while everyone else picks up the slack.

You don't even know the difference between upper income and rich (wealthy). So that is why you are stuck in your loop. It also helps keep Obama supporters poor. I don't care, stay uneducated. Obama and democrats are counting on people staying poor and uneducated about money. They want you to believe the government handout is the way to go.
