That's called a "laborer" in the trades.

Even if that were true, why would it matter if they've already overpaid their taxes?

They can enclose a note with the forms stating that they're paying more than they owe because they believe in sharing the wealth.

Americans dont want to share their wealth
I would argue that Americans are the most generous people on the planet. However, I want to decide how to share my wealth and leave BO (and government) out as the middle man.

You most likely will make much more money under Obama's plan. But you are so blind that you still pull the republican ticket because they use you as pawns in their game.

it is really sad.
It is clear that the majority of liberals on this board are confused that so many people who earn less than $250,000 would oppose BO although we would get a bit of a tax cut. But I don't want that tax cut at the expense of someone else!! I just want to keep more of what I earn, I want the same for everyone else as well. We are not so selfish as to only consider ourselves. BO's 'fairness doctrine' will bankrupt our economy and kill business.

So I could get a bigger tax cut with BO because he is going to 'spread the wealth around'. Don't be so shortsighted....BO can't give with one hand unless he has TAKEN something with the other!! The small business I work for is already cutting hours....what do you think will happen if the owner is forced to pay for health care or pay increased taxes? We can't raise prices in this economy so the only option is to cut our hours more or possibly cut employees altogether. But hey, I'll have a little bit of a tax cut thanks to BO. I just won't have my JOB any more. Great plan BO.

And you still laugh and say a vote for BO is in my best interest. You have no clue.

I'm for allowing people to create wealth and then let them spread it around as they see fit, by hiring employees, growing their businesses, sending their kids to college on their own dime, saving for their own retirements.

Look who else had a state tax lien - Obama's treasurer.

County Clerk-Recorder, County of Sacramento, California, USA
Hot Air » Blog Archive » Guess who else has tax liens?

I'm dying here.
