Please
do not treat me fairly again !

If you don't understand the Democrats' latest proposal for /of tax cuts
(and you are not alone), here's a metaphor to help you follow along a
little better:
50,000 people go to a baseball game, but the game was rained out and a
refund was due.
The team was about to send out refunds when the Democrats stopped them and
suggested that they send out refund amounts based on the Democrats'
interpretation of fairness. After all, if the refunds were made
based on the price each person paid for the tickets, most of the money
would go to the richest people.
The Democrats' plan says:
People in the $10 seats will get back $15, because they have less money to
spend.
People
in the $15 seats will get back $15, because that's only fair.
People
in the $25 seats will get back $1, because they already make a lot of
money and don't need a refund.
People
in the $50 luxury seats will have to pay another $50, because they have
way too much to spend.
The
people driving by the stadium who couldn't afford to watch the game will
get $10 each, even though they didn't pay anything in, because they
need the most help.
We hope that clears this up for you.
