  • Thanks for helping us keep in touch, Dubya!

    "I spent my stimulus check on some sparkley jewelry, a new cellphone and a new webcam so I can talk to my soon-to-be husband, whom you're about to ship off to Iraq to maybe die for your goddamn oil wells. "

  • My stimulus check must have bounced

    "I couldn't buy anything. The government decided that a 21 year-old working college student, who will graduate with over $20,000 in "subsidized" debt raking in an interest rate of nearly 5% over the fed rate, doesn't deserve any money because I "can" be claimed as a dependent. Thank you, United States, for continuing to screw up the futures of thousands of young people."

    "It all went to paying part of my tax debt from '06. The government giveth and the government taketh away. "

  • A roof to shade us from the sun.

    "Every penny of our stimulus check (and then some,) is going towards the property tax we owe on our house. One could presume that our vampire-family costume theme in the photo is symbolic of how our taxes are bleeding us dry, but they'd be wrong. It's a photo that was taken this past Halloween. Hooray for much-needed cash to keep our home, well, -ours-!"

  • Not going to buy me off!!!

    "I invested half my 600 dollars to the Democratic Party. I'm notgoing to be bought off by the republicans. They are getting millions of dollars from oil companies, and I'm spending hundreds each year to line those oil company ceo's. I figure I need to do something to get the right people in office."
