Does anyone understand the holdup on stimulus?

[Y9 Vol]

Federal no. State and local yes.

Come on C, you are better than that answer.

 

[1972 Grad]

what does "fixed" mean?

It's a joke. In business, I used to have to listen to old people wanting a discount , and they would always say they were on a fixed income. It is their way of saying they are cheapskates.

My first car was a stick as were my two older brothers. If you can drive a 3 on the tree with manual steering and brakes, you can drive anything.

Your 2 older brothers were sticks?

 

[VolStrom]

And?

Small businesses are not on a fixed income like us old people are. You should be ashamed of yourself.

 

[Y9 Vol]

I wouldn't read too much into that. Most of the places where you see signs up are advertising for minimum wage jobs, which produce $15,000/year assuming a person works 40hrs/week. That's $5,000 below the poverty threshold for a family of 3 in Tennessee.

You are ignorant on the subject.

That’s impossible.

Who Pays? 6th Edition

“Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy found that the lower one's income, the higher the effective overall state and local tax rate. The study includes sales taxes, excise taxes, user fees and income taxes. In fact, states which boast low income taxes are often the most likely to have systems that end up shifting the fiscal burden to lower-income residents.”

Everything costs more (as a percentage of income) for a poor person.

Duh...when you pay no Federal, of course your state are more impactful. I stand by my statement.

Thom Tillis was able to add legislation to the Omnibus bill that would make the manufacturing of bootleg movies a federal felony punishable by up to 10 years in prison

All the reason to get off of ones ass and do something instead of complaining to people like hog axeding for mo money.

As it should be...unless you are low income. Amiright C?

Does that mean the Popcorn Sutton movie, "This is the last run of liquor I'll ever make" can be prosecuted.

I’d make a deal by saying let’s tax the poor if we can also tax mega churches.

It’s the year 2020. No one make bootleg dvds. Unless you live in North Carolina.

Mmkay...I do not see the term "dvd" in your post I responded to...that is not the only form of bootleg movies.

 

[ajvol01]

We’re up to 5500 pages and more computer issues

I’d guess there’s more than 1 corrupt file in there

I’m good with that. Churches shouldn’t be tax exempt.

So why do Red Boxes still exist?

His is not a church. It is a self help group.

Any of them.

Well whenever someone is talking about bootleg movies it’s a reference to pirated dvds and movies. Which I though was already a federal crime that if enforced the entire military would be in jail for.
