Not too bad if you go on the right night.

I actually don't go for the strippers, per say. We usually go to just hang out, drink beer, be loud, make fun of Crocker innocent.gif , ...and then there just happens to be naked womenz about.

Plan unveiled

http://biz.yahoo.com/ap/080124/economy_stimulus.html
QUOTE
The rebates, which would go to about 116 million families, had appeal for both Democrats and Republicans. Pelosi's staff noted that they would include $28 billion in checks to 35 million working families who wouldn't have been helped by Bush's original proposal. Republicans, for their part, were pleased that the bulk of the rebates -- more than 70 percent, according to an analysis by Congress' Joint Tax Committee -- would go to individuals who pay taxes.

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

The rebates, expected to go out in June, would cost about $100 billion, aides said. The package also includes close to $50 billion in business tax cuts.

I'm actually with Bush on this one, fuck the poor. No need to give all that money to people who don't even pay taxes.

I think youre dead wrong, but if this is the case, I dont see what the big deal is. I fucking hate illegals leaching off our system, and anything that monitors them more AND puts money back into my pocket then thats fine by me.

I hope youre joking though cuz this sounds highly unlikely. Did lance take over your computer?

The catch is that it increases the federal deficit and may not do a heck of a lot to stimulate the economy. I, for instance, will likely sock away most of that in savings. Maybe save $500 and spend the other $100, something like that.


Probably a good idea.

At any rate, I agree. It's just another feel good measure to make people feel like the government is doing something for them. I like the Democrats' original idea: fund infrastructure projects and temporarily increase unemployment benefits. It's too bad they've rolled over on the subject AGAIN. Oh but wait... rich people won't get the stipends. Big whoop.

I doubt I'll be getting anything, since my tax return is usually more than my income tax

But if so, hello top of the line record player

If you make < $75k (based on last years tax filings, I presume?), you should be getting a full $600.

I'm contracted so I pay a quarterly income tax of $148. This seems incredibly low since I make a tad under $30k/year, but I'm not going to complain.

But I write off EVERYTHING. Gas mileage, work clothes, food, a new laptop, anything I use/might use for work I'll try to write off as a business expense
