Q: What do you have to do to get the rebate?

A: Eligible people must file a 2007 tax return with a Social Security number for each person listed.

Now youuuuu knowww the ressssst of the sstory."

So, the real reason for the not-so-rebate emerges.

Not a very good reason. Ducking out of the tax system will more than pay for itself vs a one time rebate.

Then again, I have people in my family who pay out $1,000s each year to uncle sam, get back a check for $500, and exclaim: "Look at all the free money I got!"

I'm sure the illegal aliens will find a good use for it.

A mini- brushfire broke out in the Capitol Wednesday as members realized that the decision to refund tax payments to ITIN holders meant illegal immigrants could possibly benefit.

I'm afraid that I am one of those people still paying the "protection" money.

I don't feel good about it since I know that the 16th Amendment was never legally ratified, but I am not willing to put up with the pain of being another lone, jailed, protester.

I should have known that Ron, whose wife could not stand him, Wyden would vote for it. I am surprised that Gordon, RINO - Queer Rights, Smith didn't.

"I should have known that Ron, whose wife could not stand him, Wyden would vote for it. I am surprised that Gordon, RINO - Queer Rights, Smith didn't."

Smith walks a fine line as he and his family have hired and housed illegal immigrants for years and he is very scared that Oregon, a very Democratic and liberal state will throw him out. So he would never vote for this and alienate crucial conservative voting blocks in the rural, eastern half of the state. They generally like him, but it sure ain't unconditional love.

Smith is wealthy, Mormon and not very popular in the Willamette Valley where most the voters are. He has allot to lose by voting for this, and those who would or are offended he didn't doesn't like him anyway.

I am one of them, I loathe the prick.
