Is there a way for us to notify the government to evenly re-distribute our $1K checks to others?

[OnePercenter]

Is there a way to notify the government to keep our 1K checks, instead throwing them into a pool and adding to the checks of others who were actually harmed by the virus, or more likely harmed by the harsh economic shutdown? Is there anyone else here who would tell the government to instead send the money to the guy who had to shut down his small business or the waitress who got sent home for two weeks without pay and has mouths at home to feed? This economic shutdown does and will continue to have brutal consequences.

Are we sure it's still $1K per person? Moscow Mitch and his Republican Magnificent Seven took the House bill and crafted one of their own without any input from the opposition. Chuck and Nancy said it was a non-starter this morning.

Not seeing any definitive release of what has actually been sent to Trump for sign off.

All of the bailout needs to go to the public, NOT corporations.

I think the $1K checks are to stimulate the economy. Giving companies tax breaks for keeping employees on their payrolls is a better way to help those directly affected, but the Democrats prefer giving money to people who weren't working in the first place.

Companies have business interruption insurance. Giving people money to spend in the economy puts $1.70:$1.00 into the economy.

Brilliant analysis: Why don't we give everyone a million dollars? With you imputed return on investment, we could pay off the national debt.

The govt checks can help people to create income for themselves. I have a large internet bill currently keeping me from making money on the internet.

When it's paid, I'll have a major source of income on the internet. Not rocket science.

So you prefer that they lay off people rather than keep them on the payroll? How very Democratic of you.

Consumer spending accounts for almost 70% of the economy, so your idea may not be so farfetched.

I mentioned earlier that if I didn't make too much money last year to get a check, mine is going to my favorite local waiters, waitresses and bartenders here on the Oregon Coast sitting at home after statewide closure. There will be some nice $50 and $100 tips when they reopen.

I wouldn't trust the Trump Crime Family to "redistribute" the money. Donnie would give it to himself and his fat cat buddies.

Last night TV news announced checks for $1200 would be sent to all Americans with incomes of less than $75K/ year. Saw that again about an hour ago.

Curious - Are they talking about gross or net on that 75k?

You can prove that bailout money goes to employees? Businesses have business interruption insurance. Businesses are fine.

Why is your internet bill keeping you from making money? Has your service provider cut you off? Even if you paid off your current bill, how will you pay your future bills? You are not making money if your expenses exceed your revenues.

Suspending payroll taxes would help employees keep their jobs and have a bigger paycheck.

P.S. Glad to hear that businesses are just fine.

How much would suspending payroll taxes put in a typical employees check?

All five of my businesses are doing fine. All of the businesses that I'm angel investing are doing just fine.

Those internet porn charges add up, don't they?

Miketx is drowning in debt from tranny porn.

I doubt it. He knows where to find it for free. It's out there if you look hard enough. Try motherless.com

I never paid a dime for them. And if I was interested, internet porn happens to be free. You must be getting swindled.

But you're wrong. The money IS coming from the Trump administration, as much as you can't stand it.

Donate it to charity. Why do you need the government to do everything for you?

^^^ possibly the #1 post on the forum in the past 5 years.

Yes, service provider cut off service. Right at the same time that I was about to expand my music teaching from just local students (few), to dozens of online students from all over the country.

My business income is about to escalate huuuuge.

Suspending payroll taxes will do nothing for people stuck at home because their companies are shut down. You have to be on a payroll to save those taxes. This does nothing for people who are furloughed because of the virus, or quarantined with no sick time. Not to mention it's the working poor who need the money. They didn't get a tax cut. The companies which employe them did. So did the executives of those companies. They have financial cushions. Their workers don't.

Right. This is why Trump is sending us checks.

No, the money would be coming from the US Treasury as appropriated by Congress. I'd give it to the people I think need it the most.
