It looks like I am supposed to get a one time gimme of $250 as a retiree. I also qualify for a tax reduction for two years of $800 per year. I have heard several economists say that the cost of this stimulus package is $10,700 per person and I think that was for everyone, not just taxpayers.
Let's see, I get a stimulus of $1850 over a 2 year period and in turn I get to repay $10,700 in taxes. What happened to the tax cut for 95% of all tax payers? And the scary part is, I barely qualify as a middle income worker.
I guess the silver lining in this dark cloud is that once they confiscate my 401K's and IRA's I'll be in the poor class and then I'll have no more worries. As the girl said at one of Obama's speeches, they are going to pay my mortgage and put gas in my car.
Scary indeed.
Okie
