So it’s tacky for me to ask my government to treat all citizenry equally?

You came in this thread looking for sympathy and all "woe is me I make $200K and the feds won't give me $1200 back."

It's tone deaf and completely lacks perspective given how the median income in the US is less than half of that and millions are out of work due to covid.

Oh that’s right, I’m afforded less standing politically because I’m not W2 poor.

Why do you want to be a victim so damn bad? You are not afforded any less political standing. We have a progressive tax system and part of that is that those who earn more pay more income taxes. If you don't like, make less money.

Do you really think it make senses from a public policy perspective to tax the frick out of people making $30K a year? Those folks are scraping by as it is.

And the stimulus does affect me. Money printer going BRRBRR, means inflation from deficit spending. It means higher taxes on 90% of the people on this thread.

We have been hearing about this bogeyman since I was in undergrad back in 2008. Where is this massive inflation?

How about a stimulus that only stimulates people out of work. Not sending out checks to employed persons. Then I’ll get your point.

It is fair and reasonable to criticize the policy choices in reaction to the pandemic but to bitch and cry about not getting a check is just in poor taste.
