1. Hmm I dont even know what that is.

Must not be in my league.

[rug]

5. 2011 Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Super Sport - 268 mph

Don't be so negative. We've achieved a great victory.

[dkf]

7. Lol.

I can't tell if you are making fun of the sparse return you are getting or making a comment on the excessive tax cuts for the rich.

Or maybe you are loaded and want to stimulate the economy?

[tularetom]

2. Donate to candidates who promise to abolish it

[TheKentuckian]

3. If I'm lucky it will pay the storage bill or lunch once or twice a week.

[Davis_X_Machina]

4. The continuation of the tuition tax credits...

...means my tax refund in March will pay my oil bills for the winter.

I realize this makes me a Vichy Democrat, but there it is.

[rug]

6. No, that's important.

The problem is they're taking thousands for every dollar we manage to pry out of their plump hands.

[Davis_X_Machina]

9. You, and most of DU, would rather me pay more for my oil, which I would notice

and they pay more in taxes, which they would not, to prove a point.

Thanks loads.

[rug]

10. Not at all. We all buy oil.

Of course, those that sell the oil are the greater beneficiaries of this legislation.

[dkf]

8. Yes!

This bill will ensure people arent smacked in the face at tax time. Many have come to rely on the nest egg they have been getting at tax time.

[frazzled]

11. As usual, our refund will go straight to paying ...

our second-half property-tax bill. Which I truly appreciate. We'd be in kind of hot water scraping that money together without our Federal refund.

I guess it's robbing Peter to pay Paul, but that's how the cookie crumbles. (I deserve a prize for combining two lame metaphors into one short sentence.)

[rucky]

12. 250 lap dances. n/t

[NYCGirl]

13. I'm on unemployment. That bill was a godsend for me. NT

[stray cat]

14. Food and expenses to see family over the holidays

[nadinbrzezinski]

15. What tax break? The same I got for ten years? THAT ONE?

[obxhead]

16. The same place I've been spending it

On gas, utilities, and property taxes. All of which have gone up tremendously over the last decade. All of which collect taxes by a percentage, so it could be argued they just get all the tax money back.

[Fiendish Thingy]

17. It's going into my tax free retirement account

to offset the future cuts to Social Security that Obama will surely enable.

[jwirr]

18. Well now IF I were getting one I would stock the freezer with food and

pay the fuel bill. Since I am on Social Security I will not be doing that any time soon.

[TheFarseer]

19. I suppose it will accrue in my checking account

and I'll never notice it. I figure it will be about $20/month unless my calculations are incorrect, which is entirely possible.

[mmonk]

20. Save it for the debt ahead.

[bluestateguy]

21. Probably a new laptop

This machine is getting rusty.

[ladjf]

22. My family will profit about $1,100. I would have preferred that the

tax bill be allowed to lapse so that the rich would have to pony up their part.

[taught_me_patience]

23. I calculate we'll be getting approx 4k more than last year

That is a lot. Probably going to put it toward the downpayment on our second home or toward retirement. Can't count on social security to be there in 35 years.

[EstimatedProphet]

24. By taking the money that would go to SS and putting it in my 401K

[REACTIVATED IN CT]

25. Great idea. n/t
