well i was employed every single day 2007 and definitely made less than 80,000 or whatever it was so if theyre giving out this 800 i would sure hope to think that its entitled to me

but just this thread is a testament to how this may work. i mean most of us are already talkin about what were goign to buy and most of it is taxed items. shit alcohol is probably the biggest way to give them our money back with the insane taxes, and cigarettes and gas

first part of your post is all still speculation.....that was 1 theory bring talked (you having to make $80,000)

but the second part of your post is 100% right.

The plan is for UP TO $800 for individuals, UP TO $1600 for married couples. It doesn't guarantee whatsoever you will get $800 in your mailbox in a few months, don't be so naive.

This will stimulate the economy this year, but is just putting off the recession for a few more months and further hitting retail growth for next year...all while increasing our national debt...but I'll take whatever money they wanna give me.

Good post, Lisa; I agree 100%.

One question, though, to any who knows the answer, or at least has an idea...I've heard various numbers tossed around, as far as the limit to the amount you may or may not have earned in this fiscal year, so...which is it? Do I need to be poor, homeless, and living out of a garbage can, or do I have to at least own 1 lear jet to get this.

it's a 1 time thing yes! the last one you are talking about had to do with taxes being "cut" (at least thats the way I remember it....lol)...this time has NOTHING to do with taxes...it's to restimulate the economy.
why do you think they "cut" taxes in the first place?

bingo.

Conservative lawmakers and economists said a temporary rebate would do nothing to strengthen the economy over the long term and faulted Bush for putting off his efforts to renew his first-term tax cuts.
"Unfortunately, lawmakers are taking the political approach on the stimulus, which is to say they seem to be focusing on what proposals are popular than what will actually help the economy," said Brian Riedl, of the Heritage Foundation, a conservative research organization.

Yes, because 21.45 in sales tax is MUCH LARGER than 800 dollars!

The government can just print money!

It comes from Bikini Bottom!


that 21.45 sales is for 1 person for thier purchases...then that employeer paid an emplyoee who paid taxes on thier wages...also took thier wages to a store and paid taxes on something, then that store gets bigger and expands...which mean they hire a contractor...that contractor gets paid and hires employees...those employees pay taxes on wages and in return earn money they spend...etc etc etc

Republican lawmakers favor a proposal that would offer rebates of up to $800 for individuals and $1,600 for families &#8212; but only if they paid that much in taxes last year.

For practical purposes, a family of four with an income of $24,000 would receive no government payments at all, and families with incomes below $40,000 would at most receive partial rebates. But a household with an income of $100,000 or more could get back $1,600.

Almost by definition, the approach would exclude millions of people who were unemployed or living largely on Social Security. It could also bypass families with incomes as high as $60,000, depending on the kinds of tax credits they use to reduce their taxable incomes.
