Members MacBradley Posted May 12, 2008 Members Share Posted May 12, 2008 I am a 21 year old student who lives with my parents. I do this because I cannot afford to move out and go to school at the same time without leeching off the government. I work, I pay taxes. Because I even have the potential to be claimed (I am anyway) I don't get a stimulus check. My parents also get nothing for claiming me. It's hard enough to pay for school on minimum wage and then work while at school, so why would I be denied this check. The other group that is denied the checks are singles making over 75,000 dollars. I don't get it. I pay taxes just like everyone else, and my reward is my work getting busier from everyone else getting money and making my work harder. I hate our government. Republican or Democrat, it all is ran poorly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members MacBradley Posted May 12, 2008 Author Members Share Posted May 12, 2008 do you mean cheque? No, that'd be if I lived in a country that doesn't spend all your tax money on wars and people that are forced to not work to get help from their government.

Members The Great Waldo Pepper Posted May 12, 2008 Members Share Posted May 12, 2008 Make a lemon out of lemonaide. Seriously this stimulus check is merely an advance on the taxes you will owe next year. If you look at it that way you are not losing anything.

Members attic Posted May 12, 2008 Members Share Posted May 12, 2008 I think the US government just wanted people to spend more so they made everyone think they'd get a serious amount of money to buy stuff. People buy stuff in advance, before they have the money. (It's the trend of the decade)And a lot of people will have spent money that they'll never see back through a refund. Now the government is just trying to get out of the deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members arcarsenal72 Posted May 12, 2008 Members Share Posted May 12, 2008 Well even if you didn't get the stimulus check, your tax refund should be nice. I'm in the same ballpark as you, and I'd rather have my $1000 in refunds than some stupid $300 stimulus check lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators AMZ-FX Posted May 12, 2008 Moderators Share Posted May 12, 2008 The other group that is denied the checks are singles making over 75,000 dollars. The top 5 percent of taxpayers pay more than one-half (53.8 percent) of all individual income taxes, but report roughly one-third (30.6 percent) of income. Taxpayers who rank in the top 50 percent of taxpayers by income pay virtually all individual income taxes... in other words, the other 50% of wage earners are paying almost nothing (3% of the total taxes). -Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members johnbegone Posted May 12, 2008 Members Share Posted May 12, 2008 Your parents will get an extra $300 for claiming you as a dependent. You also get money, even if you're a dependent, if you made over a certain amount ($3,600 maybe?), that's worth another $300. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
