That's not the issue eclipse. Do you know how taxes and tax credits work? They get the money now and they spend it and it is gone. In normal years, it shows up on their tax return as a credit, $ for $, to offset taxes owed on wages earned for the year or in a lot of cases now, unemployment. If the credit is not there and they have already spent the money, they are left with a tax bill that they have no way of paying. Yes, in theory, the increase will cover the tax shortfall but that is only if they money is put into savings, which with the typical people this will effect, the chances of those monies going into savings and remaining there are pretty much nil. Example: For a family with three children (one under 6 and two over), getting that $800/month in advance for 6 months, assuming they make the same AGI and have the same withholding as last year, will equate to an increase at tax time in taxes due of $4,800 since that is the amount that their normal tax credit would cover, ......unless every penny that they get monthly is saved to pay taxes. See, if your withholding is the same or less, and you normally have that huge child tax credit at the end of the year to offset what you owe, and now all of a sudden that huge credit is not there or is cut in half, and you dont have the cash to pay it yourself, you're SOL and owned by the IRS (which may have been the intent the whole time). This will be compounded exponentially when people realize that both the regular state unemployment as well as the "bonus" federal unemployment is fully taxable at the federal level but there is no federal tax withheld from unemployment unless you formally elect to have it done and virtually nobody is responsible enough to have that 10% withheld. Not to mention it's also a double whammy, if you've got two adults on unemployment and the combined unemployment is more that they would normally make (gonna be the case in a lot of instances) and it actually pushes them into a higher tax bracket. Wait and watch, and you'll see a ton of people bitching about taxes next spring.

I feel for those that try hard to get ahead and shucks like this catches them off guard because they don't understand it.

For the ones that work about 1/2 a year and live off the government teet, and then file taxes on them 3 kids and get back $10 Grand quit their job again and are broke 3 weeks later, I hope those bastages starve.

my primary doc is a mid aged experienced doc at one of the big hospitals in Bham. Very good doc. Since I have had the virus he advised me straight uo, YOU DON'T NEED THE VACCINE, DON'T TAKE IT. YOU HAVE THE BEST IMMUNITY THERE IS, YOU WILL NOT GET IT AGAIN, AND CANNOT GIVE IT. Period.
