Ferrari Mailing List: Stimulus

[Rick Lindsay (rolindsay]

I didn't get the last stimulus treat (the one that didn't work) nor did my son. 
 I won't get this one either.  I make too much money and he makes too little.  
So WHY does what we earn have ANYTHING to do with whether we spend the money - 
and therefore cause the stimulation, which is the stated purpose?  

It's much simpler than generic logic.  If they gave the package to people who 
work their asses off and actually earn a good salary, the rest would complain - 
even though those with ample income are MORE likely to blow the stimulus money 
on trivial crap.  What a bunch of dumb asses.  And they wonder WHY citizens 
have lost confidence in our government!  They're just plain, common, generic 
dickheads.
