Don't know if anybody else had mentioned this about Dub's "stimulus checks". |
|
If you OWED tax this year, you'll end up getting your check later.
The people who got them first are the people who had refunds coming and who selected direct deposit for their refunds.
If you owed(as most working class people did)you wouldn't have bothered to select direct deposit(since there was nothing you were going to get deposited at the time), so you'll get a paper check, and they aren't sending THOSE out until at least June.
Meanwhile, rich people who had good accountants(the group that's actually most likely to get refunds, as opposed to the working class or the poor)will get their checks first, because, hey, Christ knows how much Trump or Gates will be incented by a whole extra $600.
Just thought I should point this out for those who'd wondered why they weren't getting their Peasant Pittance yet.

6. True. The income cap was $75k for a single person; $150k for a couple. |

Do they need stimulation? They probably use lots of shelters and loopholes already, and one of them needs a better toupee. Maybe from a squirrel instead of a gerbil...

3. Most working class people "owe" taxes? Is this simply your opinion, or what? |
|
I work for a printing company where most of the people do not make $25,000 a year and very many of them have already had their stimulus checks direct deposited. Not everything needs to be set up as a clash between the working class and the rich.

Even if you had direct deposit. Found out a week ago about that. We'll get ours late June. :(
