Whats up with this BS that people only making 75k or less get a stimulus check ? These are being called STIMULUS checks ? Right .... ?

I pay a lot in taxes , and I will most likely pay taxes on this BS money being borrowed. So guess what....we should ALL be getting a check. Especially those that pay tens of thousands of dollars in taxes every year.

I paid well over 60k in Federal income tax last year. My family should be getting a check just like anyone else.

I find it funny that people that do not even work in the first place get these checks.

I agree. They’re either stimulus checks or checks to help those affected by Covid. We know it’s not just for those affected by Covid. In affect it’s just another big income redistribution scheme. There is nothing fair about it all but it’s never fair.

Bingo. Nothing more than another ploy to redistribute wealth. People that pay 0 taxes get these? For what? Please do not insult me and call this stimulus ..

Call it "redistribution checks".

You are misunderstanding the purpose of stimulus checks. Their purpose is to STIMULATE the economy, not to reward or punish anyone. If you make as much as you claim $600 means nothing to you. If you are a laid off restaurant worker you are going to spend you check out in the economy and STIMULATE it.

If they want to stimulate the economy, they would give the money to the rich.

The people who can’t even make a living would know how to create wealth?

Create wealth? 70% of the economy is driven by consumer spending. How many toasters or cars or loaves of bread will Bill Gates buy?

Create wealth, what a load of crap.

Borrowed? Borrowed? lol As if it's ever going to be paid back. Printed out of thin air is more like it.
