Yes you did, if you filed together you got an extra $800.
If we didn't our tax burden would have been $800 higher so how did Obama lower my taxes when I paid more this year even with the "Making Work Pay" credit?
There was very little difference in income from last year.

If Obama hadn't lowered your taxes, then you wouldn't have had the chance to get the 800 dollar credit.
See, if Bush tax policies in place you pay 800 dollars more. With Obamas tax policies, you paid 800 dollars less.
When 51 percent can vote themselves all the benefits and force the other 49 percent to pay for it, that road leads to tyranny.
I got a refund this year for the first time in a few years. The reason--I sold most of my investements back in early 2008, didn't get back into the market until the year, so I had no capital gains or dividends that I was taxed on beyond my relatively middle-class income. According to you I'm just a freeloader apparently...Hmm, let's see, I have no kids clogging up our public school system, no visits to doctor charged to Medicare in the last year, no governement assistance programs I benefited from...I've paid increased costs for a lot of things I do use such as public transportation or recreational fees...

How much is that 'very little difference'?? Also do you take the standard deductions or do you itemize your deductions??

Standard deduction. The difference was less than $1,000.00. We are no where close to combined income of $250.000.00 dollars. Last year we could claim 100% of our property taxes. This year we could only claim $1,000.00. Wasn't that a tax increase? If you are responsible, hard working individual or couple this year you got penalized.
The only cuts that will expire are for the top two brackets. For couples making in excess of $250,000 and Individuals making more than $200,000.
Okay I stand corrected to a point. However they are still expiring for the rest who would potentially create private sector jobs in small businesses.
