Quote HistoryQuoted: And I guess they won't be voting for Trump either because this money comes with his blessings. Uncle Joe has already promised tax increases, I guess if they like getting long dicked by the IRS they can vote for him. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: There’s a lot of folks in this thread virtue signaling about how those of us poors who are getting a check are leaches and FSA, oddly a large portion of them aren’t sporting an avatar. Very ironic isn't it? In fact this thread is probably setting a GD record for Virtue Signaling. |

So far, my income has thankfully not been affected by all of this. If that continues (praying for that), and if we do get a check, wife and I have already talked about just gifting it to someone who hasn't been so lucky and could really use it.

This is a, hmmm, government creates problem, and so I'm going to accept the government solution.
I mean it's, take the check and keep our house that we worked and saved up, and did so much to finally get. or be "principled", And be unable to make our mortgage payment, get kicked out of our house, and go live with one of our parents. Hmmmm which one should I choose, that is a really tough question... |

As a side note, pay close attention to what is considered income for this. Its just not your tax statement from 2018. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: You all still believe you're getting a large check? 2 trillion to adult citizens approx $2000 per citizen x 327 million citizens in ???? and $500 per child x 74 million (unless that has changed). Rough estimate is $750 billion of that will be spent and thats being generous. That is assuming that every single adult in the country who is a citizen gets $2000 and every child gets $500. Where does the other $1.25 trillion go, hmm? You’re population figures are a bit off. There’s only about 327 million total people in the US. So roughly 250 million adults and 74 million kids. Additionally, I believe there are two monthly payments figured into this. Not a one time thing, one in April, one in May. |

Arfcom always forgets the median income in the US is $32k, average is only $45k and 72% of working people in the US make under $99k. Outside of large cities and their suburbs, most of the country just fine making less than 6 figures. |

I haven't seen the details that finally passed but last I heard anyone making over $65K isn't getting shit. My dead beat daughter that refuses to work however, will most likely get $2000 for herself and two kids she squeezed out.

Unless I am missing something it doesn’t seem like the bill they look likely to agree upon will include these “free checks”. Just watching the news and Mitch and Chuck only mentioned healthcare $$, big business aid and extended and increased unemployment benefits.
Not to say that they didn’t leave it out but I would think a 1K+ to the general working Joe would be pitching point for both sides. |

I won't qualify for it because I made too much money.
That said, I would definitely take it because I have paid more than my fair share of taxes and any little bit I can get back is a good thing. |
