Surprise Surprise, I mean dam, with my massive $300 check, I was hopin to buy a new car, some audio equipment, and put a down payment on a new house. But guess not.
I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around [the banks] will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered. The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs. —Thomas Jefferson, 1802

I went to Vegas with the chump change they sent me. Chilled around the pool and got tanked, partied up at night. Didn't do much gambling except for the $50 I laid on some 3 game baseball parlay when I was hammered. It was pretty much eeny meeny miney moe. Damn thing ended up paying back like 4 bills plus my bet.

Ironically, our $1200 check went towards our $1500 real estate tax bill.
The gub'ment shall giveth and shall taketh away.
Anyone ever figure out exactly how much a single $1 gets taxed after it's all said and done?
For every dollar $1 you make the Fed Govt. takes $.25 cents of it if you have State tax then your state takes another part of it like mine takes 10% or another dime from my dollar, thats 35 cents already. That is off the top, then when you go and buy groceries the city takes another 8 - 10 cents for every $1 dollar you spend. wow there goes almost 50% of your income.

Income tax doesn't bother me nearly as much as property taxes. Of course most of you can't relate though since I live in a state that has the highest property taxes in the country.
I'd need like 7 of tree's stimulus checks to pay for that shit.
