  • "The tax rebate is bad policy: this should be going toward rebuilding our infrastructure or helping the poor. So we sent our rebate to a food bank, where it should have gone in the first place! It's not like we couldn't have used the money, and of course the car went into the shop this week for the miraculous coincidence of $1200 worth of repairs, but it was the right thing to do."

  • Goose Egg

    "I bought nothing as I apparently make too much money to get a rebate and some of my own money back. In fact, I owed even more in taxes because I got hit with the AMT. Nice."

  • The 2nd Amendment - One Stimulus Check At A Time

    "I used my own money (the government isn't giving us anything that isn't already ours) to exercise my 2nd Amendment right to keep and bear arms. This nice, used Glock 23 came with some extra high-capacity magazines. If BO gets in office there is no doubt my rights will be under attack more than they already are. Legal firearm, law-abiding citizen. What makes America great. "

  • "My stimulus went straight to the bank where it will stay until we have a Democratic administration that will reduce the carpet-bagger economy that the Bush regime has built and fed. It makes no sense to return that money at its current devalued state and reward greed. They'll get my money when the consumer once agina has something to say about the economy and capitalism once again is truly fueled by supply and demand."

    "We bought absolutely nothing! Why is that, you say? Because this G$%^D*#& government of ours decided we make too much money! Most of which went right back to them on April 15th. Uhhhh... I am hurting like most people. I clean my own house, mow my own lawn, get up everyday to go to work. Where's my little sumthin' sumthin'?! "

  • Once Upon a Time...

    "I had to give my wife my stimulus check. She told me if I knew what was good for me, I'd just hand over the money and not ask any question. She said what's mine is hers, and what's her's is hers! She a little woman, but she's fiesty!! Ok, really our check went to pay off some bills. But I like my story better!"
