i get money when it comes, i spend it when i need it

2/7/2008 11:27:19 PM

despite the gov't propraganda does China really qualify as a communist state??

From what i have heard recently certain aspects of their economy is more pure capitalistic then parts of our mixed economy.

Although like the term turrrists; words like COMMIESSSS help us hate china.

2/8/2008 12:05:15 AM

cheap women and expensive booze

2/8/2008 12:06:36 AM

Two chicks at the same time, man.

2/8/2008 12:37:40 AM

I'll spend it on goods manufactured in China!

2/8/2008 1:27:03 AM

If you don't want the money, give it to charity or the IRS.

2/8/2008 2:16:53 AM

It's only fair to give china back the money that they are letting us borrow

2/8/2008 2:24:14 AM

I would spend it on war bonds if the government were smart enough to issue them.

2/8/2008 2:43:24 AM

bills/loans/bank the rest of it

and if this prompts anyone to spend more money at the small business i work for, we will then use it to pay bills/bank it to save for a rainy day.

The term I've heard the most to describe them is "state-controlled capitalism".

2/9/2008 10:43:14 AM

probably save most of it and use the rest to offset a recent medical cost

2/9/2008 11:45:42 AM

what are the qualifications for getting some of this money?

2/9/2008 3:15:54 PM

Not be dead.


I think I'm going to burn my rebate, you know, like a draft card to protest drafting my wallet 20 years from now to pay back the interest on this check.

Not really, I'll invest it . . . screw consumption.

2/9/2008 4:14:43 PM

Either student loans.

Or new floors for my kitchen, living room, and bathroom.

"The amount of the credit (i.e., the sum of the amounts of the basic credit and the qualifying child credit) is phased out at a rate of five percent of adjusted gross income above certain income levels. The beginning point of this phase-out range is $75,000 of adjusted gross income ($150,000 in the case of joint returns)."

Let’s suppose I’m an individual with an AGI of $85K. So my rebate would be reduced by 5% of $10K, or $500, for a net rebate of $100. At AGI of $87K, the rebate is zero.

Damn, I'm glad I'm married and have a kid, or i'd be screwed.

2/13/2008 2:44:09 PM

i'm glad i have a kid and have a agi of 12k.
