Hey. I like rich people. Just don't ask me to give them my tax money!
When I pay my taxes I pay to help the public and the common good, not the prosperous private extremely well off un-needy.I'm not paying for their private jet with my money. NO!No more. Let's get this stupid House to pass the President's bill!

I called my reps. Will you?

1. I don't understand...is there something in the tax code that calls for
individuals to subsidize private jets?

3. They get a tax write off then the money they would owe for that is not there to pay
for the things we need and it is given back to them. Yea we subsidize private jets. Love it? Then get this bill passed.

But the corporate jet tax break to which Obama was referring – called “accelerated depreciation,” and a popular Democratic foil of late – was reauthorized by his own stimulus package.

Why do you think there are 71,684 pages?
