Self employed are eligible for the Payroll grants ... look into it.

Brilliant.
One of us believes proper consent can be consummated by sliding out of a birthing canal.

The other believes proper consent can only consummated by the willing agreement of two or more parties free from duress and with the cognitive ability to do so.

Who's the nutty one again?

It's your money going out to people now. I don't qualify for it so someone is getting money I paid in.
Actually it's: "Democrat liberal run" Government doesn't create wealth, they only take it from the tax payers and after they've gotten their share, they reallocate a large portion of it to their voter base a.k.a government assist welfare.

Everyone really takes for granted what we have here in the US, which is only because we pay for it with funds from tax payers. I've traveled the world and I've been to places where they have no taxes, or have taxes that go to corrupt government officials. and the streets are full of sickness and disease.

Anyone who describes their political ideology with either "anarco" or "communist" being any part of it is "the nutty one". The two ends of the same crazy pill.

Anarchists and communists are fringe extremists. Literally all of them.

Now it's okay if you want to be a nutty fringe extremist, the world needs all kinds, but you'll have to understand that those kinds of political ideologies will be met with laughter quite often and will be outright rejected by intelligent audiences.

Both fringe ideologies are extremely naive at best and are maliciously awful at worst.

Yeah, Team Red doesn't steal my wealth or redistribute it to their cronies.

Anarchism and communism are both apolitical.

So yeah, your definitions are off again.

I owe the IRS about $1000 as it is, so they'll probably just keep my check. I really don't expect to actually see a check in my mail box. If it does happen, well....then I'll have been wrong. If they don't take it, I guess I'll just give it right back - cause they'll want my money.

So, if they are going by tax filings, I'm guessing they will send them out after April 15?

The time frame on receiving checks varies, based on your income.

How incredibly naive of you. Oh well, naive is better than malicious.

Anarchy is merely a setup for monarchy or oligarchy, is a brief state of chaos before order is restored by a powerful individual or group. It's not something that can last... which is why it essentially doesn't exist.

Communism actually is totalitarian dictatorship either by an individual or by a small group.

Communists view anarchists as useful idiots, they know if anarchists succeed in tearing down the system it'll be their opportunity to enslave the people with a totalitarian regime which is exactly what they want. It's the reason why you share the same propaganda with opposite intentions.

Take the money, go to Vegas, and put it on red. You'll win. That's the way it goes. The republican party is famous for creating money out of thin air.

Never used government assistance, never been on welfare. Always forced to pay more than my fair share. Would I want my money if some was given back? Of course I would. Does anyone here blame me?
