Uh huh. I'll remember this the next time Uncle Sam mails out more "stimulus" checks. You can send me the money by Western Union, but Paypal is acceptable I guess.

 

Bogie, you need to cite your sources. For all I know those numbers were pulled out of someone's a$$.

 

yea i must say I agree with Bogie... the CEO's and "greedy corporate douchbags" are gonna get their money either way.. Ive heard this discussion from a few people I personally know, and can even forsee if happening at my own job. Bottom line being, that the corporations and business owners are going to make their money either way.. whether that be through tax cuts, or laying off workers and making 3 people do the job that 5 do now. I guess you could consider it unintended consequences.. we either give the corporations the tax cuts, or we potentially lose our jobs due to "budget control"

hell im a broke college student, who would stand to benefit from Obamas plan... but again agreeing with Bogie, I dont think the government should be paying out taxes.. on top of the normal programs in place for people who make lower income .. I guess I just dont see the point in punishing people who have worked hard to get where they are... not everyone that makes over $250k a year is a "greedy corporate douchebag"

.. just my 2 cents

 

I'd rather donate my stimulus check to local community projects, the Republican party, or any other organization that is not pushing a socialist agenda for our country, thanks. Work for your money.

 

I did site the source in the original post and haven't removed it. Does your brain function normally? I've seen dumb before, you never cease to disappoint me.
