More Harry Reid Incompetence

We already know Harry Reid doesn't like the poor, elderly and the disabled. Now, because of Reid's incompetence, Reid has shown he doesn't care about the average U.S. taxpayer:
From CNN: Itemize your tax deductions? Itching for a refund? You're going to have to wait.
The IRS said that it needs until mid- to late-February to reprogram its processing systems because Congress acted so late this year cleaning up the tax code. The bill, which includes deductions for state and local sales taxes, college tuition and teacher expenses, wasn't signed into law until Dec. 17....
The delay affects both paper and electronic filers who itemize deductions on Form 1040 Schedule A. That includes those claiming the new Educator Expense Deduction, which credits grade school teachers for out-of-pocket expenses of up to $250.
It also includes those claiming deductions for college students, covering up to $4,000 of tuition, which is claimed on Form 8917, though the IRS said there will be no delays for those that claim other education tax credits.
Though itemizers can work on their tax returns before the IRS is ready to accept them, the government said people should not send them in before it is ready to process the returns.
The IRS hasn't yet said exactly what day it will be able to begin processing the impacted tax returns, but it expects to announce that date "in the near future." http://money.cnn.com/2010/12/31/pf/taxes/irs_filing_delay/index.htm?hpt=T2
This is totally on the Democrats. Harry Reid and his Democrat lackeys played games with the tax bill and now taxpayers who count on the refunds are going to be hurt. The Democrats could have solved this problem before the lame duck session, but they just played the jealousy game by insisting on rich people be taxed more. The amusing but sad part is that Reid and his ilk didn't even get that.
Just wondering, will the IRS accept the tax forms and cash the checks of people that owe money? Something tells me they will.
So, once again, Harry Reid shows how much he hates Americans by screwing over taxpayers. Again.
