If you pay taxes, President Bush and leaders in Congress have agreed to send you at least $600 in the hope youâ??ll spend
it
and pump more life into the economy.
They have their wishes, but Americans are independent sorts.
What would you do with your check?

It just goes to show how inefficient the government really is. Noting that, you have to understand that they don't have a system in place to efficiently give money back to taxpayers. What they have set up is an efficient way to reach in our jeans and pull out them greens!
That having been said, how do you make the jump to most of the checks will probably be undeliverable? And, what does a $600 check have to do with us keeping our homes? Lastly, when the haze disappears, what implication is there about receiving money from the government and losing our jobs?
Reliance upon government is most always a lead-in to dependence. I took a trip to the Bahama Islands last summer and learned that their government only provides welfare assistance to those that CANNOT work. Those that look for other excuses then face, if you don't work, you don't eat. Seems as if the US could learn a lot from this tiny island nation.
And, remember Ross Perot's giant sucking sound line. Well, the best description of that is the US Goverment getting into our wallets every two weeks automatically. And what is the largest, growing sector of receiving money - WELFARE! Check out the facts locally, as well.
Perhaps if more learned to take care of themselves, we wouldn't have to rely upon Uncle Sam's rebate checks. After all, it does imply that he gets too much to begin with.
We need a fresh start in Washington. We need to pass the Fair Tax, and we need to throw out the entire Senate. It has become nothing more than a Social Club of overindulgence for overpaid attorneys and their minions.
And now look at our prospects for President - the Democrats - three attorneys - DO YOU HONESTLY WANT TO TRUST ANOTHER ATTORNEY TO PROVIDE LEADERSHIP FOR OUR NATION? Sad, sad, sad!
The Republicans - it just remains to be seen if anyone from this group can be trusted, because the best candidates have already dropped out.
