I feel bad for the people that make too much money to get it. They pay tons of taxes. It’s the welfare recipients I feel don’t deserve it. They already have a negative tax bill and they still get this money. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: You already had your trailer park drama thread about this. Be sure to show us what dumb shit you squandered our money on when you get it. Ever get a small gift certificate and then strive to spend it as wisely as possible? That's how I see it. Peeps that spend it on retail stuff are fools. You are going to pay taxes on the stimulus check, then pay taxes on what you buy with it. No, it will be my yard sale seed money for the upcoming season (delayed as it may be) so I suspect I'll turn whatever I get into three-fold tax-free profit.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Your money. We all pay taxes, get off your high horse. Someone has a grade school understanding of taxes. You see Timmy, we in the US have a P R O G R E S S I V E tax system! That means, many of us pay far more in taxes than a lot of others because it is believed we can afford it! So if you look at the giant pot o money that the Government steals from us every year, some of us get stolen from more. And when the Government gives a little bit of that back to the people who paid in less then it means they're fucking the high income earners even more because our taxes stay the same, while the lower middle class's DOES NOT. It's a tax break for people who are already taxed less because they make less. Make sense now or should I bust out the crayons? Get off your stupid horse. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I'm a small business owner, so even when my personal income is low I'm paying out the nose for taxes. Yes, I want some of that money back. Actually I want a LOT of my money back. I want a LOT of people to get a LOT of their money back. This is going to be MY money coming back to ME. It's not negating the taxes I have paid by a long shot anyway, and I certainly don't need it to pay bills. Trump's purpose for this is to help people out and re start the economic engine, with that in mind I will likely spend all of it locally at small businesses I like. Pubs, restaurants and such. (No chinese places, sorry chinese, go home, eat dog there instead.) |

I will give it right back the day it clears, finishing paying off student loans especially during this interest holiday. It’s like I’ll get a free $200 or so by doing that.
I’d rather stimulate PSA, Brownells, or Main Trading Company (@SCWolverine) since I do have terminal cases of black rifle and black radio disease. But I’ll only have a mortgage after May, so I think I can afford to build another AR and buy another radio then. |

Which means you are paying even less into the pot than you already where while a certain percentage of your countrymen are paying yet even more in than their already disproportionate share. If I pay $20,000 a year in taxes because I am "a big earner" and you pay $10,000 because you're "a low earner" then I am already paying more into the system you are despite both of us being able to use it the same, I am already covering a disproportionate share. Then the Gov gives you back $2000 more meaning you only paid $8000 in that year I am still paying $20,000 in meaning my disproportionate amount INCREASES. "hurrr durr it's my money back" no, you're already not paying your fair share compared to others. The fuck is wrong with so many on this board that don't understand how progressive taxation is already unfair? You guys DO understand this is very much a liberal/leftist scheme right? You're buying into the class warfare shit with this? The whole tax system is fucked. |

That's a separate issue. We can't keep kicking the can down the road if there isn't a can, or a road, or a foot to kick with. You might as well face it: Small govt.
