    A gov't giving money back to the people?

    Many other governments make sure that all of their citizens have health care, assist with child care costs, provide for a respectable amount of vacation time for all employees, require a survivable minimum wage.....

    I could go on. I'll take any of the above over the occasional publicity stunt of sending us a meager check whenever the economy tanks and their poll numbers go down.

    Last time I got a gov't tax "refund", I ended up giving it right back to them during the next tax year.
