I am sorry that was so snippy. I was in a really foul mood last night, and should not have taken it out on you.

Mouse Wed, 06 Feb 2008 01:57:56 +0000 http://vivianpaige.wordpress.com/?p=2956#comment-116947 I know it was a statement of fact. I just find it amusing that when you like a tax cut, as in this example, you say it saves taxpayers money. For those you do not like, you say it costs the government money. Two sides of the same coin, as it were. Both are factually correct. As for the press release, you neither linked to it, nor did you put the points in quotes. Therefore, I assumed that you were paraphrasing. Perhaps you could fix the post so that the points are included in the blockquote. I know it was a statement of fact.

Did you miss the context? Did you not read the previous links? And I specifically said that those facts came from the governor's press release. Did you miss that, too? <a href="http://www.governor.virginia.gov/MediaRelations/NewsReleases/viewRelease.cfm?id=601" rel="nofollow">Here</a> is the press release. The purpose of this post was to let folks know that the conformity date had been rolled forward, which means they don't have to spend the money having amended returns prepared. Try a little reading comprehension, Mouse. It was a statement of fact, Mouse, not an opinion on whether these things are good or bad. Did you miss the context? Did you not read the previous links?

Thus, it is a tax cut. The other two are called "The Tax Mortgage Forgiveness Debt Relief Act of 2007" and "The Small Business and Work Opportunity Tax Act of 2007." If they are tax bills, and they save the taxpayers money, they are tax cuts. You yourself said the latter "provided several tax breaks for small businesses." Is there a difference between a tax break and a tax cut? HR 4118 exempts income from taxation, which means they will be paying less in taxes than they would otherwise. Thus, it is a tax cut.
