I will refuse it.  If they happen to fuck up and send me one.

Better yet, I will cash it and just hand it to one of the wildebeests who has shit out multiple defendants that she can't afford. Wouldnt want to burden her with a trip to the bank to cash the check herself against an account that she doesn't have.

So a couple making $150K/yr are now millionaires?  Interesting.... you know that's not really that much money, right?  I feel sorry for those that value themselves so little that they'd allow themselves to make less than that - talk about selling oneself short.

Yeah fuck me for working hard to make a decent living. I'm not rich, not by my own measure at least. Maybe to some guy who runs a forklift at the Walmart distribution center but what I am is tired of fucking paying everybody's way because they fucked up their own lives.

You could always give it to a local Native American whom sold his Harley last year after his wife got sick. In return, he will promise never to come to Ohio ever again, for as long as he lives.

If we get one I'm cashing it and using it to stimulate the economy by buying ammo or guns. I figured I paid all those taxes over the years why should I turn down a chance to get a small amount of it back.

My wife is sick as well. I support her physically and financially. Still wont see a dime. But people who are broke because of life choices will continue to be enabled with handouts. Handouts of money that gets taken from people that actually contribute to society and try to do the right thing.

Sorry to hear about your wife, but glad to hear you prioritized by selling your harley.

Its the Tea Party all over again lol

I don't need the check but if I get MY money back I will take it. Of course the gov will then tax my own money for a loan I didnt ask for. Its bullshit all the way around.

The main bullshit is people on government assistance will be getting them. They arent losing anything like some Amerians, so basically all those getting gov checks AND getting this are getting a raise.

I'd sure as hell take it.  I paid ~$130k in taxes last year, that's the least they could do.

Had a conference call this morning that everone's income is about to take a nosedive.  We have a decent chunk in savings but it isn't infinite.

But of course I won't be getting any.  I'll probably pay more taxes next year to pay for it.

For the amount I pay in taxes, I consider it a refund at the very least.  Now for someone who doesn't pay in, I could see where a principled stand could be made.

This. Everybody is like 'muh socialism!', except this isnt a vote buying scheme. In fact. You can clearly see the difference between giving you your money back as a one time disaster relief package, and the liberal version which doubles the amount and loads the bill with pork. The liberal version is clearly holds people hostage and tacks a bribe at the end of it.

And before 'muh free market!' Im sorry, but it never existed in the purest utopian iron fist corporate form you pretend is the best thing ever. You realize a truly free economy would have zero global protections against players like china?

But sure. Let global panic completely gut our economy because while you pretend a one-time stimulus is the socialist anti-christ.

Disagreeing with the law is fine, but refusing to use it to your advantage is just unpatriotic.  

I will not be getting a check, but still hoping that perhaps the stimulus pork will flow my way.

It's not the end of the world, but lets not pretend it's something other than income redistribution. That doesn't mean that you should turn it down if you are eligible, but praising it does mean you support the idea of income redistribution.

I worked 2 jobs before my second son was born to pay off all of our debt and build up an emergency fund.

I see none of that matters anymore. 10k student loan forgiveness and Obamachecks for everyone.

I feel like an idiot, but I am proud of my sacrifice even if it didnt matter as much. It changed me as a man and for that I am grateful.
