Could have just eliminated all Federal Income Taxes for the year instead of the “stimulus”

would we be refiling our taxes under that scenario?

How does that help the 3 million people who filed for unemployment last week?

Generally, people on this site are fricking morons, who need to stick to topics that they know.

These would include: how to tie a shoe; advanced eating with a fork, without poking yourself in the eye; bus window licking; etc.

I feel sorry for those that don't realize that most of the shite posted here is retarded.

Ya’ll do realize that the unemployment cost in the bill is minor to the over all cost? We already have unemployment insurance. But a restaurant knowing they do not need to pay federal taxes may keep their staff around longer. NOW

Even though they're restricted to take out only?

Are you insane? There is no way they wouldn't still make cuts.

So let me ask what the point of the checks to Americans is for? That will take 3 weeks or more to get out? Stimulate? To get people to spend.

I think the stimulus is ill conceived for whatever it's worth

I just think it's very naive to think that businesses like restaurants would keep people employed if you got rid of income taxes

If they're restricted to take out only for the time being they're not going to keep people on the payroll no matter what you do about income taxes. They'll keep the minimum skeleton crew they need to operate as a take out business.

And many are already closing their doors because this model isn't sustainable for very long.

But the Americans that also get more in their paycheck...some a lot more...they will order food. And would have the last 2 weeks

If they’re equal monetarily the stimulus check is better.

The folks they are trying to funnel money to mostly dont pay income tax and most taxpayers will not be recieving a stimulus.

IMHO they did this way too early, passing out checks 10 days into a multi week/month ordeal is beyond stupid, when folks really get in a bind there will be no ammo left to fire.

So, if someone making $400,000 salary gets no federal taxes withheld,, and that person would not get a check, You think they may spend a little of the 35% withheld next couple months? I think so.
