Tax Rebate........Warning some ranting..

[StinkerBell]

I am not sure what I think of this Tax rebate, but I know I found myself soo irritated that people who didn't even pay taxes will be getting a 300.00 refund.

So how can you REFUND someone who has not paid/contribute?
So basically my taxes are going to more charity/welfare.

They want give the money to people they know will spend it so they stimulate the economy. Besides it's not your money. They spent your money already. This will be brand new freshly printed money.

[StinkerBell]

My position stands...It cannot be a refund if you never paid anything. It is welfare.

[StinkerBell]

It is also fair to state I am craving Chocolate big time right now.


MEOOOOOooooooow

[glenn kangiser]

I just had a big ol piece of Chocolate Macaroon cake - way  too rich.

It's not welfare if dubya prints a bunch of money and just gives it to you, Stink.  It all free.  That's how he funds his wars -- free money  720 million dollars of free money each day for the war.

You OK'd him doing that didn't you? hmm  I'm sure he wouldn't do it without permission and approval of the people. He's the number one public servant.  (OK -- don't get technical on me -- I know he was installed not elected and kept in by voting machine tampering -- but hey -- there wasn't a better choice either so no worries), but you get $300 back. 

I thought the rest of us were getting $600.  What happened to you , Stink? hmm

Bad behavior?    Lump of coal in your stocking? hmm

$720.000.000.00 , you get $300.  Remember -- they had to take it from you before they can give it back.  Don't be grateful.  They are a totally parasitic entity.

It's not welfare.  It's a printing press, you silly.

[StinkerBell]

AND

AND there is a cap for those who actually paid.


It is not right to have a cap and not give something back to those who paid. Yet give to those who have not paid. This irks me beyond belief. It seems the only real way to have any security in this country is to make sure you earn an income around the poverty line. Cause if you work you butt off and plan, sacrifice and WORK, you are penalized. However if you slack, do not educate yourself, show self control and discipline you are NOT penalized but given alot of breaks and entitlements. Then we wonder why we have to import highly educated people from other countries cause we do not produce well educated/motivated people. Cause they are penalized.

I am in such a mood! I think I am going to quit my job, not pay for anything I bought. Just file bankruptcy. Then I can live off the state, have my health insurance for myself and kids taken care of. Get a tax refund......Sleep in the mornings. Surrender and become a slacker and join the force of slackers so in a few years another country can come and take us over, I wont mind cause I am too busy not caring.








I really need some chocolate......

[glenn kangiser]

There, there, Stink.  Don't be upset.

They already thought you might try that so they made it much harder to file bankruptcy.  Near impossible to get the forgiven one --- now it's just the planned pay back one pretty much if I have it right.   

I only see one option for you, Stink.  Take a one way trip to Mexico.[idea]

That's it.  Take your cocoa butter and a bikini, lay around on the beaches under the hot Mexican sun and get a deep dark tan, then sneak  back as an illegal alien.  All benefits will then be open to you.   

Probably even get your $600 like the rest of us.

[ScottA]

 

Glen you are in top form today for some reason.

[glenn kangiser]

Thanks, Scott.  Possibly because I'm halfway awake. 

[StinkerBell]

NO, I will pay off my obligations.....THEN I will quit my job and live on the land, and get a tax refund. Nope I plan to live around the poverty line. If I have no bills, own my property and home outright I should not have a problem living at the poverty line. THEN I will get all the benies 

[StinkerBell]

I just found out about this.

Only thing worse- in Baltimore now they are going to start *paying* students to pass standardized tests needed for graduation. Oh, and some are getting $8 an hour to study after school.


IT IS JUST RIDICULOUS!



complain.....moan....complain....moan.....

[sparks]

Great thread StinkerBell !! I have spoke with fools (re:stepchildren) that are spending what they think they'll be getting, NOW! Flogging idiots!!! Disgusting. I can hardly believe people are falling for this BS.

[fishing_guy]

I lie awake wondering just how much this "free" $$$ is going to cost me in the end.  A couple of more beers and I won't worry so much.

Prefer bourban myself fishing guy....but I heard a rumor that GK awards a $100 gift certificate for all posters that reach 100 posts.......wanna race??

In your dreams, sparks.  

Maybe some brownie points for anybody who passes me.

[peternap]

If it makes you feel better Stink, I won't be getting one. I took the year off to see if I was going west. (Appears   that I haven't yet). I have made money in the market and have to pay taxes on it. I do not qualify as a Trader though and the refund is not for unemployed people that pay taxes.

So we're supposed to get this check which is written on my kids' account and go do what?  Go to Wal-Mart and improve the economy of China?

I think I'll put mine in the bank to offset the social security I won't be getting.  Maybe I won't be as much a burden to my kids.

A Ruger Mini is about $600, right?

[glenn kangiser]

Ahh -- Drew, I see you understand.

About right on a new Mini but since I have one allready maybe another case of ammo and some armor piercing rounds to add to the collection. Mark

Oh Crap I give up. There is a blizzard outside and the traffic on the road is running faster than this box.  I tried to post a couple time and lost it somehow. Anyway I wonder if you will have to claim this as income next year if you pay income tax.  As for the ones that do not pay will have to claim and possibly put them over the $. Refuse it?  Well not much work on the cabin as I just got word that school is closed. So press the referee shirt and find my whistle as the kids are home tomarrow.

That's not at all likely. IMO.   

[glenn kangiser]

I shoot the bull too much.

[MountainDon]

As far as the rebate/refund/gift/whatever you want to call it...
They want you to spend it. So do the opposite and save it. 

Or use it to buy a gun, or part of a gun.

Or ammo. $600 will get you (more or less)...
.223        case of 1000 rounds or about 2000 surplus
.308        case of 500 rounds or about 1000 - 1200 surplus
45-70      about 400 rounds, never seen any surplus
338 WM   about 200 rounds
12Ga Buckshot   about 500

Shoot the bull a bunch.

But think what $100 would do for the economy!!

[Drew]

Wait until they figure out they can vote to get our money, Glenn.
