>> If you don't understand the New Congress version of tax refunds, maybe
>> this will help explain it:
>>
>> Fifty thousand people went to a baseball game, but the game was rained
>> out. A refund was then due.
>>
>> The team was about to mail refunds when a group of Congressional
>> Democrats stopped them and suggested that they send out the ticket
>> refunds based on the Democrat National Committee's interpretation of
>> fairness.
>>
>> Originally the refunds were to be paid based on the price each person
>> had paid for the tickets. Unfortunately, that meant most of the refund
>> money would be going to the ticket holders who had purchased the most
>> expensive tickets. This, according to the DNC, is considered totally
>> unfair. A decision was then made to pay out the refunds in this manner:
>>
>> People in the $10 seats will get back $15. After all, they have less
>> money to spend on tickets to begin with. Call it an "Earned Income
>> Ticket Credit." Persons "earn" it by having few skills, poor work
>> habits, and low ambition, thus keeping them at entry-level wages.
>>
>> People in the $25 seats will get back $25, because it "seems fair."
>> People in the $50 seats will get back $1, because they already make a
>> lot of money and don't need a refund. After all, if they can afford a
>> $50 ticket, they must not be paying enough taxes.
>>
>> People in the $75 luxury box seats will each have to pay an additional
>> $25 because it's the "right thing to do."
>>
>> People walking past the stadium that couldn't afford to buy a ticket for
>> the game each will get a $10 refund, even though they didn't pay
>> anything for the tickets. They need the most help. Sometimes this is
>> known as Affirmative Action.
>>
>> Now do you understand?
>>
>> If not, contact Representative Nancy Pelosi or Senator Harry Reid for
>> assistance.
