Quote HistoryQuoted: Now we get to see the hypocrites that hate welfare, except when they qualify for it. Since it is a one time payout sent out by the IRS based on taxes paid I see it as a refund not a welfare handout. You have to sign up for welfare to get welfare. I've never signed up for welfare and never taken any. |

Considering I depend on lawn season this time of the year and the government just burned down the economy, yes I'll take the money. I'm still currently doing whatever brush clearing, lawns, and cleaning rain gutters that I can get though, and will continue to do so.

If you consider your time spent on a message board to be valuable instead of inherently wasteful and justify spending real money on it as some form of investment then I can't tell you anything you'd understand.

Do you see me crying about it? After all your bitching and using this stimulus as an attack angle against Trump you better be burning that check or you're a hypocrite and a "socialist" by your own words. |

At this point I no longer care. I used to be completely against welfare of any variety but now? If you get welfare, disability, house money, WIC, SNAP, stimulus bucks, whatever I do not care. The system is broken and we're just coasting down the cliff, there's no fixing it outside a complete reboot.

Quote HistoryQuoted: At this point I no longer care. I used to be completely against welfare of any variety but now? If you get welfare, disability, house money, WIC, SNAP, stimulus bucks, whatever I do not care. The system is broken and we're just coasting down the cliff, there's no fixing it outside a complete reboot. It all derives from income tax which should never be taxed, and if it absolutely had to should be a low, flat tax with no exceptions and unable to be raised without a supermajority vote of both the House and the Senate subject to annual renewal. Consumption tax is likely the only way to be fair about it, and liberals/progressives hate the idea of a consumption tax so that should tell you it's likely the right direction to go. The root problem is that taxation has become a tool of control as the wealth of some are used to buy the allegiance of others via the manipulation of who gets what breaks. |

I may add it also makes zero sense to continue to vote for these Fuckers to kick the can down the road. Rest assured there will be plenty of Mush minds trying to convince people to continue to vote for the cucks. |

For the record, I don't think I get any, but I think its really dumb to criticize people for getting their hard earned money returned to them, especially considering so many people here believe it should have never been taken from them in the first place. |

Everyone in the country could burn their check but that wont stop the other 1.7 trillion getting spent. You might slow down the eventual crash and buy a few more years, but the crash will happen all the same.
