Obama is attempting to transform a tax rebate check into a welfare check for those that either barely pay income taxes or do not pay any income taxes, whatsoever.

In a recent pseudo-campaign speech on January 8, 2009, Obama pandered to non-taxpayers by asserting that, "95% of working families will receive a $1000 tax cut".  Keep in mind that this statement is ridiculous and deceitful. It is generally known that 51% of the higher wage earners pay almost all U.S. income taxes, and the remaining 49% of wage earners barely pay any income tax or no income tax at all. How do non-taxpayers get a tax break? In the form of a welfare check.  Clearly, Obama wants to punish high-taxpayers with unfair progressive tax rates and reward non-taxpayers with free, undeserved tax welfare checks.

Obama's attempt to redefine the term "tax rebate" is an abuse of power, i.e., changing the intended purpose of a tax rebate by exercising influence over the taxing authority (i.e., Congress) for the purposes of redistributing wealth via a "welfare check" redefined as a "tax rebate."

We, as hardworking U.S. taxpayers, should be outraged.  We, as hardworking U.S. taxpayers should protest this joke of an income tax welfare policy.  However, we go to work everyday, we earn an honest living, we pay our own debts, we pay our own mortgage, and we do not go out and protest because we have to go to work.  Someone has to pay the bills, the tax bills.  Where is the fairness in Obama's tax welfare policies?  Keep in mind that fairness doesn't exist in Obama's income tax welfare policies.  Obama's goal is to punish success and reward failure.

In sharp contrast to Obama, Conservatives want to cut business and investment related taxes and keep personal income taxes as low as possible to increase overall tax revenue, which will promote the overall general welfare of the U.S. economy.  We, as hardworking U.S. citizens, do not need "income tax welfare checks."  What we, the people of the United States, need and deserve is a break from high, unnecessary income taxes and a true income tax rebate policy for our own prosperity and the prosperity of our beloved country.
