*shivers at the thought of Lubbock strippers* 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 -------------------- |

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. -------------------- Beers that I have had, updated July 5th, 2009: 1,548

what is the best way to hunt a rat? make the rat take your poison bait and run back to it's nest. greedy illegals are gonna be getting this money, and the following paper trail will lead the goverment right to their house.... will the goverment do anything about it? prolly not. but they would know more accurately how many illegals there are and they would make more plans accordingly -------------------- |

no one else is seeing the scam part.... 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. what is the best way to hunt a rat? make the rat take your poison bait and run back to it's nest. greedy illegals are gonna be getting this money, and the following paper trail will lead the goverment right to their house.... will the goverment do anything about it? prolly not. but they would know more accurately how many illegals there are and they would make more plans accordingly I hope youre joking though cuz this sounds highly unlikely.

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. -------------------- Holy shit, pebkac, you're awesome!

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 -------------------- ![]() ![]() |
