Everytime you go to the bank to withdrawal money, the government pays their debt to you.

I was checking my bank balance on-line this morning and what do I see but a stimulus check.
Hey!!! And my account is short a bit! You took my money damn you! :smt013
:grin:
I think you got mine, I expected to get mind today and didn't know I'm gonna have to yell at someone
So you think dpvandy01 is a government employee and he is a parasite?
I didnt get anyones...we are excluded from this stimulus....:smt013
Your parents should be able to get a stimulus check. If you give them yours they'll probably feel odd about it because you feel odd about it, then they'll probably feel odd about theirs too. So they'll want to give it all away. Can they give it to me?I was checking my bank balance on-line this morning and what do I see but a stimulus check. Our accountant told us we made too much this year to get one. Guess Uncle Sam thinks differently.
Anyhoo, I am looking at it in my account and I am like, what now? I chatted with the Mrs saying "we need to buy something so we can stimulate the economy" Her reply "what shall we buy?" my reply "dunno, we do not need anything". She replied we can use it for boat gas money...Yeah, but we already have that money set aside.
So this "gov't payment" just feels odd to me. My folks are living off social security so I may just give it to them.
Now hang on just one minute there, partner... :smt021Not to bicker, but if you get some, and I get none, then there is a greater opportunity for some of it to come from me, than all of it from you.
Paying a boatload is relative, I'm sure.
How do you not pay SS Tax?
I'll fix them... I'll lower my own salary next year... phoey on them...
Your not looking at it the right way Skibum, you should want to pay more tax......a million, heck even more than that.
I pay into the Police and Fire pension and my Township matches .... and since I run into burning buildings and risk my life to save yours... fc3.... I don't feel much like a parasite nor do I feel that my services should be cut by 10 to 20%.. NFPA standards call for 18 to 24 firefighters to fight a typical residential fire... I show up with 12 on the first alarm, that is if one or two of my four parmedic ambulances is not out at the hospital or at your house...fc3.... giving aid to one of your loved ones... so hey, a simple thanks or a wave to any of your local parasites (rather than personal attacks and disparaging remarks) will suffice:grin:
Now hang on just one minute there, partner... :smt021
Say what???
So I go to work every day, and give Uncle Sam in excess of $15,000 over the course of the year. Then they give me $500 now so that I only (ugh) pay $14,500 next April... that comes out ouf your pocket how???? :huh: :wow: :smt101 :wow: :smt100
I'll fix them... I'll lower my own salary next year... phoey on them...
hehe... first post I ever wrote that needed all of the "funky" smilies at the same time :smt043
I never said anything!!! I only wanted to find out how to get out of not having the government manage my retirement. And thanks for for saving me in the future.
Meaning that for tax year 2008 they will be taxing more money at lower rates.
All I can say is 'What?". This thread has been like trying to take good pictures of waves.I still had the IRS booklet on my desk and it is where I got the numbers in the earlier post where I used numbers. (I wouldn't use my real ones on the net).
But you just made my point about it being a cut... They just changed the numbers in the tables so that more money will be taxed at a lower rate... $600 lower if your AIG is 80K... That lower rate is where the money is coming from... Taxing more money at a higher rate would be an increase. The only "risk" to the government is that they give you a stimulus check based on your 2007 earnings, and then in 2008 you make a bunch more money than you did in 07 which would make you ineligible for the stimulus cut, rebate, whatever. That risk will be countered by the fact that you will have to pay it back net April because the extra money will fall in the higher bracket. BTW: you do realize that the numbers in the tax tables that we got this year had the lower rates in it to compensate for the stimulus checks we got last year, right? Next April's tables will have the adjustments in them for this round of cuts.
Ok... I'm done with this thread. None of us will ever agree. None of us actually understand the entire tax code. And more important, we aren't talking about BOATING!!! I officially surrender.
Have a great day everybody!
