Yes, that time of year is approaching when vast numbers of Americans file with Turbo Tax as fast as possible in order to get their return. Oh, yes, and quite a number of Americans do get refunds. What do they do with those refunds? Spend them! I can tell you, I work in Retail and Retail looks forward to Income Tax Time. Why? Because those checks are spent on things like, appliances, and x-box's, and carpet, and a host of other things people put off buying until they get that check. Christmas helps grow the economy and so does Tax Time. Which makes me wonder why the Republicans are so dead set on screwing over the middle class and their tax cuts in order for the wealthy to keep theirs. Face it, the Koch brothers don't race down to Home Depot in order to take advantage of their $37 whole house installed carpet. Yet, if you're a middle class home owner that is something which may be high on your refund spending agenda. I know there are going to be people in my community who will go out and buy a new refrigerator, or washer and dryer, on mattress set. They may decided to replace that sofa which, after ten years of kids jumping up and down on it, has no spring left. Do you think the rich have to wait until income tax time to make these purchases? No way. It's almost as if the Republicans are expecting to hear "hey, let me drop the soap so I can bend over."

And, as always, they want entitlements on the table (define entitlements as social security). Do you really think the wealthy are worried about paying their bills in their retirement years? Are they concerned about whether their social security check will cover all of their medications and still let them put food on the table? Of course not, but somebody needs to pay. They prefer to penalize the middle and lower classes then those upper crusters who seem to have them on a very short leash. I don't think they comprehend that stability is only maintained when there is a balance to the structure.
