of tax refunds, maybe this will help explain it:
50,000 people go 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 that
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, Senator
Ted Kennedy, Senator John Kerry or Senator Hillary
Clinton for assistance.
