How does the Making Work Pay tax credit work?
Are they going to shop at Home Depot, Macy's, and the local new car lot?
Are non tax paying Americans going to buy a home?
Someone please explain to me how Obama's "Making Work Pay" program will build the economy of America and American workers?
Shouldn't Obama focus on increasing the Middle and Upper classes purchasing power. They are the ones who buy the new cars, buy homes, and spend more discretionary income.

Since the debate seems to have tetered on the detail of whether non-taxpaying people are all government dep., is not exactly true. There is a fine line of "taxpayers" that do not have a federal tax liability, but still are not government dep. This is a group of folk who do still qual for EIC, but who are not necessarily HUD assisted, on food stamps or drawing welfare.
As far as the OP's original question: Your question and conclusion is right on the mark. But remember that Pelosi is at the helm and her agenda is clearly to divert as much of the budget to increase benefits to lower income.
As long as the tax benefits are going to the lesser income, the economy definitely won't be able to sustain. Like its been said, the spenders who actually keep the economy thriving are the ones that buy larger ticket items and spend money daily in all areas and for those that can afford to loan.Votes up:0 Votes down:0

If you live in this country you should pay taxes, that's how I see it. I've paid my whole life and by the time I get social security it'll probably be gone. There will be a lot of change with Obama, hopefully most of it good and hopefully he won't tax the hell out of us because you can't sqeeze blood from a stone. What about the skyrocketing health care? Forget it, awful subject.Votes up:0 Votes down:0

They don't. All this does is build the number of people who become dependent on the Federal Government and it builds a political base for the next campaign. It's a liberal farce at the actual Taxpayers expense.Votes up:0 Votes down:0
