Um�so apparently I benefited from Bush�s tax cuts. While last year I received a Federal tax refund of approximately $400, this year�s will be almost twice as much. In feel kind of guilty, in truth. I don�t even have to pay state taxes this year, something I have had to do the last three or four years� running. I finally got wise and started contributing an additional $15 per pay check to state taxes, on top of my regular deductions. So this year I actually get a state refund, too. Yes, it�s only $6, but that's better than having to pay! So anyway�I�d love to say I am going to donate my extra refund money to some worthy humanitarian cause; or even toward a Democratic candidate I feel will get Bush out of office come November because seriously � what more fitting way to spend your excess tax refund? In truth, though, I am using it to pay for my car registration � a bill which was weighing heavily on my mind and now just isn�t. Funny how things work out. Hey don't forget, kids - there's another Democratic Debate tonight, moderated this time by Tom Brokaw. It starts at 4:00pm PST, but I'm sure it will be repeated later. Check your NBC stations. ~~~ Word of the Day for Thursday January 29, 2004 soi-disant swah-dee-ZAHN, adjective: Self-styled; so-called. |
