I have no problem with people getting their own money back and more power to them. I have trouble with people getting back more than they put in. That does happen and not just for the "poor". I don't understand why people let the Government take more than they owe throughout the year and then are happy to get their own money back, without interest. If you want a big return, figure out exactly what you owe and only pay that. Then have more taken out and deposited in a credit union or bank savings account. You'll get the "big return" at the end of the year, with interest, by taking it back out of you bank account. For some people, they will get more back from the Government too, because they will find credits and deductions to return all of what they paid in and more.Quote:

That would have me paying way more than I do now. Herman Cain's proposal of 9-9-9 was just about right.
