Here's a question:

What the hell is <$600 going to do for me, really? I'm divorced with no dependents; so the refund will probably be like $200.

How is this going to stimulate the economy? Is everyone going to take their couple-hundred dollars and go shopping the next day? I guess I don't understand this. It's costing a shitload of money to give everyone an amount of money that really can't be used for anything other than buying a few consumer goods.

If you paid taxes they are just giving some back there is a difference.

RTO wrote:WASHINGTON - Congressional leaders completed a deal Thursday with the White House on an economic stimulus package that would give most tax filers refunds of $600 to $1,200, and more if they have children.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Republican Leader John Boehner scheduled a news conference for 1:30 p.m. EST to announce the $150 billion package, hammered out in a week of intense negotiations with Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson.

Congressional aides, speaking on condition of anonymity because the deal had not yet been announced, said they hope the checks could go out as early as June.

Individuals who pay income taxes would get up to $600, working couples $1,200 and those couples with children an additional $300 per child under the deal. Workers who make at least $3,000 but don't pay taxes would get $300 rebates.[\b]

The rebate part of the plan would cost about $100 billion, aides said. The package also includes close to $50 billion in business tax cuts.

Full Story Here....


Let me read that again.....

"Workers who make at least $3,000 but don't pay taxes would get $300 rebates."

How do you get a fucking rebate on something you don't owe ??

I'll be applying my $ 300 towards a bottle of Johnnie Walker and the remainder towards the confiscatory amount that I already owe my Uncle Sugar for 2007.

I will be endorsing it right back to the government, because I have a job and worked my ass off all year and somehow did not pay enough taxes. Just like every fucking year!
