I've stated in numerous posts across this website that this was roughly how much we were going to get.

I don't see what the big surprise is.

The government doesn't really want you to keep your money anyway. They want your money to fund more federal programs that waste and squander your money.

Tax cuts are a cost to government, at least that's how they see it. They don't care how hard you work for your money, all they care is that you are working to pay more taxes.

Am I the only person who finds it humorous that we give away money we SLAVE to make, and then we get SOOO EXCITED for a refund, a simple small percentage of the money WE GAVE AWAY?

And every dollar that we give, not even a penny of it goes to building or maintaining the infrastructure and services that we require and need everyday?

Yay!

Much to correct here.

We'll go with the 700 billion dollars although it will be much more than that in the end.

There are only 6 billion people in the world, not 600 billion.

Even with 6 billion people in the world to divide 700 billion from, that would equal to 116 dollars and change to every person.

Even then that is more than $13 dollars a person.

This is really stimulating my anger.

No.

Look around you,

You are in good company.

Now when you find a group that has some really viable solutions and are willing to stick their necks out to make it work.

Please get back to me.

I have not filed taxes yet. Are we getting a stimilus payment as well? I am trying to get ready for Digital transition. I also was hoping to maybe buy some clothes. It would be nice to buy a nice business suit to go with my new degree! How in the world am I going to interveiw in an old man's dress shirt and old slacks?

WTF is wrong with these people? I am sick to my stomache, they might as well just bend us over, and give it to us without lube, a reach around, or even a little wink. Just take it all! you rapists!! Im sick of this crap. I really hope our nation tanks! I really do! I want them to lose everything they have!!! Cause we as the lower class people have already been losing out on everything! They are an insult to the human race and they need to be dealt with. No more sitting them down and asing them questions, Im talking about a good old fashioned Ass Whoopin!

well at least you have nice places like ATS to vent your frustration... to get it all out and psychologically simulate your rebellious actions, otherwise you'd actually do something about it.

... and we can't have that.


and HEY!

13$ a week is almost enough for two passages on the new toll rolls a day.
so quit whining!!

You do know the majority of poor families in most 3rd world countries live on less then $1 a day?

Im sure a starving family could of lived off those 13$ for a month
