Getting money you haven't paid out...same damn thing.

You paid 1000 over the year. You do your taxes. You get 5000 back.

Welfare ho in sheepish clothing!

Well actually it doesn't work that way. I pay $60000 in taxes and get a break by not being futher taxed on the rest of the money I make by subtracting the $5000 from the top. Hardly the same thing.

How about this. I make $18000 a year, I pay no taxes. Now give me my free health care and I want a burger with fries too.

If you're paying 60,000 in taxes, you must be a CEO of a bank or something.

Total. Tax. Liability.

Not a CEO. But I do work 5 jobs, one as an employee and the other four as a independent contractor, working for myself.
