It is a handout... the "supposed" intention of the Bush tax cuts was to create jobs and not outsource them to foreign countries... Oh yeah... they took campaign contributions from foreigners in order to send our jobs overseas...
The bottom line is we EARNED that money. Keeping more of what we EARNED is not a "handout". If I was accepting more tax refund than I paid out, you would have a point.

Taxes are a portion of MY income that I send to the government, therefore a tax cut or lower taxes where I send less of my money to the government isn't a hand out because it was always my money. If the government gives me some of the tax dollars you sent them that's a hand out.

So you're saying lowering taxes for the wealthy wasn't a handout...
Anyone who makes $250k or less will see their income taxes go down then they'll pay a lot more for goods and services because business owners who make more than $250K a year will pass any tax increase on to the consumer in the form of higher costs. In addition, since sales taxes are based on product pricing you'll pay more in sales taxes now that the price of the goods went up.
I fixed that for you since you don't seem to understand basic economics.
Do people who make under $250K per year still pay capital gains taxes?
Do people who make under $250K per year still own buisnesses subject to increase Obamacare taxes?
Do people who make under $250K per year have profit when they sell thier homes?
Do people under $250K per year benefit from the marriage tax break?
Do people making under $250K per year have charitable deductions?
This, of course, is assuming that Obama and the dems actually keep the Bush tax cuts in place for those making under $250K per year. I would not hold my breath.
You have bought into the class warfare ploy of Obama. Keep in mind that if you taxed everyone who is making $250K or more at a 100% tax rate (slavery), it would only generate $1.3 trillion in extra revenue. We would still have a deficit, even with slaves.

How is it a handout. It's Backspace's money to begin with.
Lets break this down.
I have a a bunch of tennis balls. You take three to use for your game. Now you give one back to me, did I just get a free tennis ball( re: handout)? No, it was mine to begin with.
A handout would be:
a) I was too lazy and didn't want to spend my money on tennis balls, so let me get some of yours. Thanks, goodbye.
or
b) I can't afford tennis balls. In which case, get back to work or you simply can't enjoy tennis, end of story.
