Tax rebates just smoke and mirrors

The rebate is nothing more than another federal government giving away our own money that we sent to them. Do the president, the leader of the Senate, the speaker of the House think we can not see past what their purpose is?

What product does the government manufacture to give them a profit so they will have money to pass out? Nada, nix, nothing.

What logic is there to rebate money to an individual that did not pay any federal taxes?,

Someone other than those recipients must pay taxes in order for the government to have some to rebate. This is all smoke and mirrors in an election year.

Both the Republicans and the Democrats want to be able to say,

"See what I did for you."

Well hogwash!

Just lower everyone's taxes and let us keep our money. Believe me, we will know what to do with it !
