Lawmakers clinch a deal on tax rebates

[brownnskinn 0]

Ah, sorry. Reading at work.

I can see why that might upset some people, but IMO the impoverished need the money more than I do, so I don't have an issue with it. I'm more about taking care of all people, not just the ones that make enough to pay taxes. But as I already said, I think it's a stupid plan that won't work anyway so

No worries

I don't think the plan is going to work either. So I totally agree it is a stupid plan.

Yeah it is weard to give a rebate to folk who didn't have to pay taxes in the first place...but I understand giving them a little bit back because the ecomoney is hurting.

Mine are too, I assume they do pay taxes but get a heafty tax return at the end of the year is why they should be excluded? I guess I remember being one of these people. I feel like everyone should get a piece of the pie...a little token for at least trying to work and support yourself when they claim the ecomony is soo bad.

people who don't file doesn't mean they didn't pay taxes..they proly made less than amount to be exempt from filing ..so taxes were taken from their checks..they just won't get any back when they file

I think that is what I was trying to say.

Also, the money isn't about the individual, it's about the country. The point is to boost the economy (not to mention, 600 dollars for a couple who doesn't have to file won't go very far). I have a feeling most will spend it on credit cards (psht, whatever is left of mine is going there) and necessities (buying stuff for the house - of course, if it's approved) and some will even save it. In the long run, we probably won't see any results, though.

I will do my part in stimulating the economy by purchasing a new three wood with my rebate.

Honestly, I think it's a nice gesture on the part of the government, but at this time the public has been so bombarded by the media with all this recession talk, that consumer confidence will keep at least 90% of this nation from "jump-starting" the economy. Many of us are going to be putting it in the bank for all the rainy days that seem to be ahead. The stock market was a clear indication on the feelings of the public to the government's plan; the sell off continued -- the roller coaster ride continued. Hubby and I will be using it to pay off some bills, save for the rainy day and pay for exams that I will be taking in June (thank God my employer will reimburse me if mi pass them!).

Just my $0.02
