You Liberals (note I didn't say progressive, you can relable yourself but its the same rose) don't get it. You can't give a
REFUND to people who don't pay an income tax.
If you gave $600 to low income families its not a refund, its welfare. Of course the 'rich' get the tax refunds because the top 50% earners PAY 97% of the tax!
And Astro, I'm talking income taxes, we have lots of other taxes which can pave the roads quite nicely, lets start with the gas tax.
