It’ll be like winning the lottery for those in WV but a slap in the face to those in metro areas.
So are these stimulus checks..

Actually about 44% of Americans don’t pay any federal tax.[/QUOTE]
Be careful... liberals don’t want that secret to get out.
I hope your insurance is good enough to limit the strain a hospital visit would incur with this virus.

I take that to mean that 44 % of Americans don't make enough money to pay taxes. I saw that 12.5 % of American families make below the poverty line of $ 24,500 so they do not pay but apparently there are many who still have enough deductions and credits to pay 0. I don't see anything wrong with being in that group.
My job laid off Friday. And the chances are hopefully I will be back to work in maybe a week or so.
Phenomenal insurance, to the tune of $25k-$30k a year paid into the plan by the contractors I work for. And with 1000 local members plus hundreds of members from other parts of the the state and country working at any time, our health plan is very very strong. Let’s hope we all stay healthy and don’t have to use it.
Isn't that what the 500 billion for hospitals is for? I don't know why everfybody assumes that there's not going to be some decent treatments forthcoming and the number of people in ventilators never reaches an extreme amount.
People can relocate to an area that isn't as expensive but then the pay is lower.
Laid off Friday, called back Saturday. I'm outside & only person I'm in close contact with is my helper
For a couple it's $198k maximum income. It is not a loan, it is effectively a grant. I will get $1,200 which I will use to pay off two bills. That effectively gives me an increase in disposable income indefinitely. I will prudently spend half of my increased monthly net on women and booze, I'll probably just blow the other half.
That is absolutely hilarious. You obviously don't understand the economy and what happens if the flow of money stops. What you really don't understand is what Nancy Pelosi tried to put in the Bill to save the economy. She want to spend Billions on her pet projects, Planned Parenthood, Kennedy Center, Public Democrat television. Millions for Illegals, Millions for a raise for the House of Delegates. Does that sound fiscally conservative?
Is a “helper” the same as a “fluffier”?
I feel like it all kind of equals out in the end.
They do pay social security taxes, medicare taxes, state taxes, etc. So implying the poor don't pay taxes on their earnings is misleading. They just don't pay one segment of taxes, which, to be fair, is the highest percentage of tax that needs to be paid.
On the other hand, they have to pay social security taxes on all of their income. Once you go over $137k in taxable income, you no longer pay SSI tax. That's a fact a lot of people don't realize as well.

Everybody should pay something. Even if it’s a dollar. Nobody should get a tax refund larger than the federal tax they paid in. That’s called welfare.
Plus they get hit the hardest by sales tax, gas tax, sin tax, auto registration fees, utility deposits, etc.. SS cap needs lifted then SS will be funded forever.
Not sure if I’m going with the Mossberg 590M w/ heat shield 12 gauge tactical shotgun with 10 round clip or a CAP 5-100 pound sets of rubber hex head dumbbells.
One will be a few hundred back in my pocket and the other will be about a grand out of pocket. Since the virus both are actually in high demand.
Shotgun...keep forever. Prolly get barely used. ...but one time might really matter.
Weights just until gym opens but a couple years of gains feel like they’re going away by the day.
Both could be sold later with modest (50%) monetary loss.

Digging into that of the 44% a chunk of that number(40%) are retiress who don't earn enough to pay income taxes so as usual the stats are used in a misleading way unless you don't care if those retirees have to choose between their prescriptions or eating cat food and just lump them into the "takers" category.
I won't qualify for much of anything, but does the $500 per child still apply, regardless of income?
I just quoted you on that...
Not that I need it, but if I did get something I plan on prepaying for various things like haircuts, etc... to help out the people who can't work that I deal with.
Not taxed.
Not a good idea.
To me, we should have used the money going out to individuals to bolster unemployment income so if you do get laid off you get all of your income instead of just a small portion.
The loans to businesses and such... Fine with that.
I'd also given you a bigger tax deduction in 2021 for any medical expenses you had related to coronavirus.
Too late now though... We got what we got and the middle class will have to pay for it like always.
I didn't have a whole lot of problems with it. Something needs done or we will all be in bad shape in 6 months. I would have like to seen the payment start at 2000 then scale down to 1000 at the 100k mark. Basically give the lower incomes more, they are the people who are really hurting. For full disclosure, I will receive it but I am at the very top of the cutoff before it starts scaling down.
The Senate also bolstered the weekly cap on unemployment insurance and did some other things on the business side that will help them keep people on payroll. The relief payments to individuals are just one part of the equation.
The bill that I read stated no American would pay out of pocket for care related to coronavirus, so I’m not sure where you all are getting that people will be stuck with huge medical bills from this.

Does that count Amazon,Chevron and the 58 other companies that didn't pay any taxes.
Not so much getting stuck with medical bills as much as we have to pay back 2000000000000
This isn't free money.
