Free Money Society

From the Green Bay Press. Henry from Pound thinks he got screwed out of six hundred bucks. I'll comment after the article.
"Stimulus should go to all

September 7, 2008 " Stimulus should go to all | greenbaypressgazette.com | Green Bay Press-Gazette

POUND — On March 3, I sent in my federal tax form with the word "stimulus" on the top of Form 1040A. On July 22, we checked the computer, which said we did not qualify because we did not have enough income.

We had to file a 1040X, pay $25 plus $5 for certified mail to get our $600 per couple, while others received $1,200 per couple.

We all pay $4 a gallon for gas, pay the same for food, clothes or whatever we buy.

Why can't we all receive the same amount — rich or poor?

First Henry,
Why did you have to do the 1040 X,
"Filing an Amended Tax Return" 1040X: Filing an Amended Tax Return Using IRS Form 1040X
Did we make a mistake? Did we forget to put our address on it? I don't know?

Why did you pay $25.00, do you not know how to use the 1040X or did you pay someone else to do your taxes. The $25.00 is a write off for next year don't you know.

$5.00 certified mail? Did we procrastinate and have to get the amended form in right away?

The stimulus checks were supposed to be for people that pay federal taxes. Henry, I am guessing you are retired and are getting SS and you have not paid any federal taxes.

You got $600 bucks , free money and your complaining.

Will Henry pull that lever for Obama in November?

People take for granted government handouts and always want more. It's a sad story of give me more mentality.

Will the younger generation of today pay for the boomers that are getting old now?

When their taxes reach 50 to 75% of their wages they will say enough is enough.

Henry from Pound, As the French say, dumass!
