in 2008, and 2009, i made exactly the same amount. last year i got back about 1500 in taxes, this year i got back 1150.i was really counting on that extra 300bux cuase i live on my own now so i was pretty pissed when i seen was getting so much less back. i voted for obama cause i thought he'd change something and he hasnt changed anything. hes a puppet just like the rest. and when he isnt reading in front of a teleprompter, he stutters and stumbles over his words and dont know what to say. hes just a really good public speaker.
