Perfectly. The Republican plan is so much easier to administer: just give all the refunds to the stadium owners.

Ha Ha that first post is great.
Quinbus, one funny poster.
And its true!
Let the stadium owners keep the ticket money, plus give them a subsidy so that they can hire security guards to keep all the pissed off ticket holders out of their gold plated offices.
Corporate Welfare costs a lot more than giving a single mom some help until she finishes her classes at CNM and can get a better paying job.
Damn poor lazy people all of them have "poor work habits and low ambition" Its al their fault screw them. Give me a break, the compassionate conservative went the way of George Bush's brain...neither of them ever existed.

Mario, if you want to stimulate the economy with refunds, you need to put money in the pockets of those with little disposable income. That is a way to insure the money makes into the economy quickly.
If you recall when Bush signed the big tax cuts he said it would creat 2 million jobs in a year. Those tax cuts were top heavy as far as income earners. His prediction was not even close. Those tax cuts lead us, with the addition of the Iraq War, to where we are today.

Listen to the weasels whine.
Government employees whining about corporate welfare...
Do nothing losers wanting the recognition for someone elses accomplishment. Tax breaks for the rich... what a shrill whine.
What it really parses out to is tax the doers and give the money to those who are capable of nothing more than a shrill whine.
eh Comrade?

skag, it is not whinning, it is simple economics. Trickle down, supply side economics does not work. Reagan showed it didn't work, it hasn't worked since then.

trickle down... like when government employees create and get all of the deluxe jobs and then trickle on all of private sector like Jiffy Lube etc. Taxing the heck of them.
Reagan might have made the mistake of saying it. But Democcrats made an art form out of pretending that they aren't the masters of it.
I'd say disengenuous... except I really mean dishonest.

Democrats ... you gotta love them...
A regular guy will spend his life doing the honorable thing, working saving, investing for retirement.
Then Joe do-nothing government employee Democrat will come along and despise that regular guy as being rich.
Then Joe do-nothing government employee Democrat will prance about claiming that he is in the party of the 'working' man.
Give me a break.

A closer analogy would be that the game WAS played and then refunds and payments for the "game" are played out.
If there are 10 dollar tickets for the regular working folks, the tickets for the "rich" folks should cost 6000.00 but only cost 10-15 dollars for premium seats. The privileged get a full refund of their ticket cost plus they are subsidized the cost of their seat many, many times over so they can pay for the regular working folks tickets. The regular folks get back 70 cents but pay out another 3 dollars for having the 10 dollars to pay for a ticket in the first place.
