Tax Rebate

[hoosier]

I forgot this stuff was in the tax rebate thread....lol

The economy will not be seeing my money. It will go toward my daughter's braces.

You say it's going for braces, but the economy just might be seeing your money two-fold or more: first the ortho gets it, then s/he pays taxes, then s/he pays the mortgage, the insurance, and the staff, then they pay their taxes, then they buy frozen dinners (their spouses don't stay home to cook), and so on. Its tentacles are everywhere.

I agree.

Yeah. You're comments in this thread clearly demonstrate that.

But when you're at home with your kids, you're not posting inappropriate pictures and telling those at work tough luck that they might see them.

This thread has nothing to do with posting pictures dill hole. Stop trying to jump off your sunken ship.

And hey, get back to work you lazy fuck. I don't want my 300 bucks going towards ramen because you got your ass fired for jerking off on an on-line forum all day.

My job involves a very unsteady workflow. I didn't have a lot to do today. I was done with my daily tasks within two hours.

If I took my kids to a suitable daycare I could look at spending close to 1800 dollars a month just on child care. I am a teacher by trade, you do the fucking math.

My math says 1800 a month for more than one kid fulltime is still getting off light. Seems every DC in my neighborhood will hang you up for at least that, if not approaching double for some really nice locales a few miles west of me. Hey, at least there you'll be the coolest 2-4 year old on your block.

Daycare is just that romperroom shit you pay for that prepares you better to handle K-12 private school and continued finanacial fleecing, right before you invest the rest of it in that lakehouse you always wanted..I mean college tuition for you kids.

(In a parental, scolding tone) Button up Partial, that drunken wild sex romp you call higher learning is no cheap handout. You must apply yourself to more than just a good woman and a longneck or you could end up flipping Skinbasket's burger one day. Remember what Judge Smails said, 'the world needs ditch diggers too.'

Must be nice. Almost like being on vacation.

Back when I did my internship, it seemed tough...worked 8:00-5:00 (for free...that was before they ever paid for interns) and then worked a night job to live on. Looking back it wasn't so bad....no pressure/job stress....heck you can't get fired.

[MJZiggy]

I've done both. Did the (yes, unpaid) internship with the various jobs to pay the bills while I was in college, and then after years of working, quit to stay home. My ex traveled and I had permanent 24/7 kid duty. Partial, comparatively you have it easy. Just about the time you start to figure the little buggers out, they learn to walk and you have to have eyes in the back of your head. And did I mention the 24/7 part? It was almost 4 years before I got a break, and just about the time he was getting to be truly fun to hang out with (not that I didn't love being with him before, but this is different), he went to school.

Skin keep your work contacts up because there will come a time when even if you don't have to, you're gonna want to go back to work just for your sanity (you might even be there already) and once the working world decides that your past work experiences are too long ago, getting a job becomes a real bitch.

I worked the same place for 6 years during college then while the wife went to law school, so I only have one contact. And I doubt I'm going back to Madison just to work. I'm thinking more like one of those luggage handlers at the airport. Something I can throw my back out on and collect workers comp. Maybe get on Social Security early and take some of Partial's money to even the score.

There's no end to the multiplier effect. Someday, perhaps someday soon, that flashy new smile is going to lead to some courting. Think of the flower shops, fancy new shoes, bar tabs.

the problem with the "refund" is that most of the people are going to spend the money to pay down debt. Thats what i'm doing with it.

I don't mind the Gov't giving me back some of the money i paid in. what pisses me off is the fact that they are giving it "back" to some who haven't payed anything into it. kinda like going to the store asking for a refund for shit you didn't buy and you don't have merchandise to return to the store. your just in line cause a line was forming. Bullshit!

that's not what they are doing. the idea is to stimulate the economy in the most efficient way possible. the money didn't come from you, it is coming from Chinese investors, paid back by your grandchildren.

Almost. Do you actually play with your kids or do you post online all day? You posted all day today. When was all the hard work of taking care of your kids.

Me, I left the house at 6:30. I just got back now. This is the earliest I get home during the week. Go figure. Must be like a vacation

There seems to be a lot anger and sexual tension between Partial & Skinbasket. I wonder what really happened during that Bears game weekend. Whatever it is, I wish you guys would take your quarrel to PM. You're upsetting me.

All thats needed is a little tax rebate.

[Harlan Huckleby]

btw, the justification for not giving a rebate to people over a certain income level is that they are unlikely to spend it. For a lot of reasons, I think this is true. Since the goal is only to maximize stimulation (that has an appealing ring to it) the cap makes sense.
