If I get it, your damn right. Its a fraction of what I paid this year in taxes.

If I qualify, I’m going to take it, because .gov is gonna look to me to pay them back for this bullshit Whether I take the check or not.

Quoted: And for the record, I've sent back unemployment, about six weeks worth, View Quote So you were actually working while collecting unemployment? ![]() |
|
I'm going to throw it against the $2,000 I put on my credit card. I bought a Honda 2800i commercial generator that I put on the card.

I will buy stock in an American company with good prospects for growth in the aftermath of all this mess.

Is the check even going to happen? Last I knew it was still in discussion phases. Might be a moot point.

Quoted: Why would you turn it down, you're the one paying for it, it's literally your own money the government has either already taken or is going to take from you. View Quote This. 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. |

How do you even know if you are eligible? If I am going to virtue signal I need to know if I am eligible.

Quoted: I've been reading threads and it's like Dayum Christmas it acomin early! Woohoo! Why are you going to return it? Curious minds want to know. And for the record, I've sent back unemployment, about six weeks worth, but I kept the Obamacheck in 2008. View Quote That one where the government takes too DAMN much of my money? |
|
Quoted: 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. View Quote 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. ![]() |

It's my money coming back to me.
i paid fuckin taxes, if anyone gets it, i should too |

Quoted: Your money. We all pay taxes, get off your high horse. View Quote 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. |

Quoted: "free stimulus check"...pffft...ain't nothing free. View Quote This. |

Quoted: 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. View Quote 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.) |

Quoted: How do you even know if you are eligible? If I am going to virtue signal I need to know if I am eligible. View Quote Before they made a revision it was you got $1200 if you made below 75k or 2400 for a household under 150k. Once you top that number the amount you get goes down quite quickly down to zero Then again I haven't see what the new bill they passed says |

Its my money anyway.
How bout suspending deduction for a month. More than the measly 1200 bucks ![]() |

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. |

View Quote 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. |
|
|
Are you fucking kidding?
It's my money, that's like refusing your change when paying for anything. |
|
Am I going to refuse to get some of MY OWN MONEY back? Nope.
I paid my taxes. I paid interest on my kids student loans. I pay taxes from every direction, and fees/surcharges from every OTHER direction. I understand that we can't "AFFORD" this payoff. 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. Conservatives have lost. badly. and without lots of blood, forever. |

You keep everything you make, you pay tax when you spend it. Problem Fucking Solved ![]() |

Quoted: Fuck that, I want what ghetto goblins get and more. View Quote GODDAMN RIGHT! I have been paying my taxes since I got my first hob 35 years ago and if someone is handing out some of my money then by God I want some back too! Not a bad idea someone had about putting it into the stock market. All that being said, ifit is income based Im sure my wife and I wont qualify. |
|
lol.
I am cashing mine and placing the cash in the gun safe for emergencies. |
|
|

Who qualifies for the stimulus check? Do certain income classes still have to pay taxes on it? I can't find anything exact on the bill. Either way, I don't think I'll qualify for it anyway.
|
|
Nope, if all the shitbirds get it then we might as well utiilize it to try to stay one step ahead.
Emergency rations, ammo, or pay down debt to free up money for future issues. |

View Quote It was easy, just wave some cash under the nose of certain "small government conservatives" and suddenly they're fans of wealth redistribution. Read through this thread, there are people whether they think they are or not praising the progressive tax system, which literally is about wealth redistribution. This is why I don't have hope for the future, a lot of people on this board carrying water for liberal/progressive causes when it benefits them. |
