Under their definition of "fair" we are already there.<br> <br> A close friend of mine was telling me about how much he is "getting back" the other day.<br> <br> He is excited to be getting back 6500. So I asked some questions.<br> <br> How much did you make last year? "Almost 21'000."<br> <br> How much was withheld, including SSI Medicare fed & state taxes? "Just over 1600"<br> <br> So if you only paid about 1600 how can you get back 6500? Where is the other 4900 coming from? "Umm......."<br> <br> I pointed out that because he only earned about 21'000 and has 3 kids I can see him getting that 1600 he paid back, but any more than that is the government taking money from others to give to him.<br> <br> I then pointed out that he likes to brag that he makes due with out having to take welfare, yet the 4900 extra the government is sending him is essentially welfare.<br> <br> This is all based on the 2008 tax code, and Obama plans to do even more of this.<br> <br> I hate to be pessimistic but I see another great depression on the horizon.
