Quote HistoryQuoted: Refuse? Lol, I won’t get a dime. I have a good income such that I don't qualify for any trumpbux. I'm perfectly okay with that. the wife and I live well within our means and can make it thru this situation just fine. BUT...I paid 35% of my taxable income in taxes this year, and if my tax % or $ goes up next year...So help me GOD

Behold my virtue. It's signal is powerful and wide. He would turn that $1,200 into at least a half dozen pinned and recessed S&W revolvers in no time Maybe not quite that good but I look forward in the coming months to post-up what I buy with my Trump Bux "seed money". I plan on keeping a running tally till it's depleted. I figure it will be interesting just to see how far I can stretch it and make that money work for me along with some small effort on my part hunting down deals. Of course I know that I'll just have to put up with the virtue signaling every time I do.  |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Yep. 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. Arfcom also always forgets that "outside of large cities and their suburbs" is a small minority of the population. The median income in the us ten years ago was over $50k for those employed full time. The income difference between a full time cashier in Bumblefuck Idaho and a skilled tradesman in a place like NYC or LA is massive, but neither is rolling in dough. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: If you’re too good to keep the money then donate it to charity and then you can come on here and boast about how great and virtuous you are. Good idea, very commendable. I'm sure the VCDL or other effective state pro-2A grass roots .org would appreciate some "Virtue Bux".  My donations to the VCDL are through paypal and I could see myself donating here and there with profits from my Trump Bux like I do normally with other stuff I sell on there. I mean if I pay $3.00 for for something at a yard sale and get say $40.00 for it on ebay it's not much of a sacrifice for me to donate the after fee profit. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: 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: Quoted: Your money.

Whatever we get is either going into a bigger and better life insurance policy on the wife and I, training courses for me (firearms/tactical) and the kids (martial arts), more supplies of the supplies variety, or more than likely a little of all.

At this point I don't know if I will be elligible or not. I don't like the idea beccause I know I will end up having to pay for it eventually, but if they are going to force me to pay anyway I might as well take it if I can and blow it on something I would not otherwise buy like a binary trigger for my PTR. That will help the economy in more ways than one.

What would be the point of sending the check back? It won't change anything, you don't have to cash it. The government would just be giving you back some of your own money. Sending the check back won't make government any more efficient, no congress critters will ever be impressed by people not cashing or returning the check.

The problem is the payout is based on last year's, or the prior year's taxes. So you're a small business owner, ordered closed, and can't pay the rent on your location, the mortgage on your house, or your $2600 "bronze" PPO medical insurance for your family of 4. The package that's up for votes today won't help in that case.
Same if you're a consultant working at some company, they cut all non-staff. You made too much last year to get the benefit, yet still can't pay your mortgage, feed your family, or pay a medical bill. Those people are the ones that'll get really desperate when their kids are hungry. |

For the record I think your full of it.
Sending back unemployment shows your ignorance. It's an insurance YOU pay. Employers figure it in on total cost of employers and comes to you at a reduction in pay. I.may be wrong but every state requires you APPLY for it. They just don't send it |
