-Caveat Lector- A question and answer from Torrance, CA's Daily Breeze, August 6, 2001. This is regarding an article in last week's Business Monday section on where Bush's tax break really comes from. If these so-called rebate checks are not actually rebates but an advance on next year's taxes, which we haven't paid yet, where are they getting the money from to pay us now?" I need to know.—Maria McNeal, Gardena Editor's note: Actually, Maria, working americans already have paid some of next year's taxes in the form of the federal witholding taken out of their paychecks. As the Business Monday article mentioned. Congress wanted the tax relief to be immediate. So the new, lower tax rates were amed effictive July 1 and the surplus tax witheld from the paychecks from Jan 1 through June 30 was used to fund rebate checks now arraiving in mailboxes across the country. <A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/">www.ctrl.org</A> DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
