    We have a different definition of what makes up this country. I consider the people to be the country.

    Ok. I think that's good perspective, for what it's worth.
    to hell with this government..

    Sure.
    and if you spend this check....your a slave.

    Whoah...so if I spend money that it rightfully mine on what I choose to spend it on, I'm a slave? You have a weird definition of "slave".

    This makes no sense at all. It is already your money. So if you won't spend this on anything, why would you spend any of your other money on anything? Are you actually saying you never spend any money on goods? Wow.

    dude, the 800 dollars is yours to begin with. The best thing you can do is cash it and give it away if you don't want to be a slave. Fund a soup kitchen with it. Donate it to charity. Buy 8 suits for homless people give them a shower and see if you can't help them find employment.

    It's not coming from the government. It's your money that you are getting back from the government so they can't spend it on occupation...they get that money from Chinese investors...

    Why? Because this government determined that $800 and $1,600 are appropriate amounts for bribing the public.
    and is it gonna be under a thousand dollars for someone who makes 2 million dolllars a year???

    Yes. It's what you all have been asking for -- a $150 Billion orgy of wealth redistribution! Good times...

    how do you figure? If it was a tax credit I'd agree. This is a tax cut right? That means they are deducting the money from the taxes you have paid in. Then again, I'm not really sure how it's being doled out either seems a lot more like a credit. They usually do try and fudge the language around these types of vote buying programs especially when thier name is attached to the Republican party.


    Everyone pretty much agrees that this is a ridiculous idea. I'd rather he spend 800 dollars to 1600 dollars less for every man woman and child. That'd be more effective. Hell put all mine on the deficit. This is a consumer confidence ploy. I'm hoping people pay down thier debt. He's hoping that too I guess but I don't see that happening either.

    They would just pimp him out in the back room of some seedy jail to get stubborn inmates to cough up their ATM codes. (hooh boy that's a lot of dry friction in a pretty sensitive spot...) :D Besides he'd never be seen again and we couldn't rip on him here anymore. :D:D:D
    Progress is not made by everyone joining some new fad,
    and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
    over specific principles, goals, and policies.

    If anyone tears theirs up, all it does is cost the govt more $$ to send you a notice that the check has not been cashed. Even though I think the $$ should be used to pay-down the national debt, if they choose to give it to the taxpayers, then I feel that we should spend the money, as opposed to the govt allocating it to some program that is inefficient and ineffective.

    If you are truly against the rebates, why not donate the money to a charity, or a group that voices your specific political beliefs?

    That's not the proper anti-Bush mentality. The proper way to think is that all money belongs to the Government. The working citizens are nothing more than individual entitlement program recipients and the part of our salary that the Government is nice enough to pay to us is all just a bonus.

    I don't know about you, but that package for the people, single and/or married really doesn't even qualify as a bonus, except for the fact that it is a one-time deal.
    SIN EATERS--We take the moral excrement we find in this equation and we bury it down deep inside of us so that the rest of our case can stay pure. That is the job. We are morally indefensible and absolutely necessary.
