Got My Stimulus Check!

I won't get one. I make too much money. So enjoy what my astronomical taxes gave you.

 

Sign it over to the Obama campaign then send a copy of the receipt to "Shrub and Co." and the RNC. LOLOLOL! ound:

I kill myself!

save the money

I put that 600 into my savings, since it was quite slim.

 

Same here. But I didn't realize you had high income, TJ. Actually, I don't make any money at all. My income all comes from investments. Have you got investments too? Or do you have a paying job? I can't imagine that you get paid enough for preaching to be above the "stimulus" income.

 

My late uncle Jack once told me he loves paying tax, one year he didn't pay any tax and it was a very tough year, another year he paid a lot of tax and he was very well off that year. He worked out that when he pays more tax, he earns more money!!!

 

Did you receive an actual check or was it direct deposited?

 

I didn't realize that was part of the deal. In that case, I probably won't be getting one, either (my income is from investments and rental property).

 

Ours came in... and went out!
Paid the house payment, and the CC bill.

Buh bye..

 

Yep. The amount you get diminishes as your income increases. Above some income level, you get nothing. But then, if your income is that high, you're already paying less taxes than you'd pay at that income level in any civilized country. The funny thing is that I got the letter saying that if I qualified, I'd get a check, but no indication that I would not actually get the check.

Capitalism is a pretty good system if you've got money. Otherwise it sucks.

 

Exactly. And that was Pat's point also:

 

Got ours, but most of it will go to the hospital bill for our cat "Serendipity" for her radioiodine treatment.

 

Stimulus checks were given to the wrong people IMHO. They should have gone to the wealthy, as they would have turned around and immediately spent the money, rather than pay off bills, or save it.

 

Reminds me of the joke on SNL mentioning that the price of hip replacement surgery for a cat was slightly more expensive than the alternative: total cat replacement.

Just because I think the people who paid the most taxes were most deserving of a tax break, and could do the most to stimulate the economy doesn't mean I like Bush.

I think Bush is the worst president to serve in my lifetime. I don't see how anyone who normally makes less $500k a year could think the current administration has any of their interests in mind.

Straight to the car payment...well, mostly the car payment...and maybe some harem pants and a coin brassiere.

 

We got our $1200 on Friday. $600 for my wife and $600 for the daughters. I only receive a housing allowance as pastor, so no stimulus package $$ for me.

Our congregation is encouraging those who are able to do something meaningful with this "windfall." Ours will likely go toward helping with the resettlement here of a refugee family from Bhutan.

We got our $200 - not enough for a big amp and a sub-woofer, so instead I got a used base drum and when I want to go crusing and sound cool, I have my grandson sitting in back banging on the drum! Thump - thump - thump...

 

Not to start an argument here but tell that to anyone living anywhere in Africa / South America / Asia etc. and I think you would get an argument. Capitalism may not be perfect but it beats the hell out of whatever is in second place.
