Many of these are elderly, they normally rely on someone else to do things for them, this way they can be aware of when the funds will get to them. Nothing wrong with it, with all the ways one can check on their refund, sending them notice is not of a great consequence.

Anyone feeling a strong sense of indignation over taking the money--please feel free to e-mail with a note indicating as much and I'll be happy to take it off of your hands. But we know that won't happen--spend it and smile or spend it and complain but we know that everyone will spend it.

If I told you how much I paid last year you would shake your head in disbelief. I don't get one, and even if I did I would feel the same way. 600 bucks is like .00006 cents compared with what I payed. I stick to my guns, it is foolish game of smoke and mirrors that the american people are buying at an unbelievable rate. When the money is gone, we will still be left with a mess only compounded by a few BILLION dollars. Glad it is so easy for some to bury their head in the sand. This is ust another warning that will go unheeded


Rob--you don't know a thing about me. You don't know what I make or what I pay but I will share only that I pay a great deal. I pay my share of taxes and that of a few other people. That I am going to get some of what I paid back is fine with me. I am single with no kids and earn a good living so I'm fine with getting back some of what I personally paid in. My head is not in the sand (nor did you imply that mine was peronsonally) but I'm fine with this. And you know if people don't want it--give it away--send it back, burn it. I don't give a F. Me, I'll pay down what small debt I have.

I am gald you are a responsible tax payer, and I was not pointing a finger directly at you, as you guessed. My whole opinion, take it for what it is MY OPINION, is that instead of being glad that you are getting this money back you should be infuriated that they tax you, as a single self reliant individual, more than anyone else. You should demand a fair tax code in this country, and believe everyone should pay their share instead of leeching off of you. Flat tax, and force people to get off their asses. It pisses me off that I wet to school, and busted my ass to build something so other people can sit at home, and receive checks that did not even pay one dime of taxes, because they received everything they payed in back on a return. You should be as mad as I am brother


But, Rob, aren't those people the minority? My father is retired from the railroad and my mother works full time at 69 years old. She hasn't retired yet. They about paid a couple thousand in taxes and are still receiving the stimulus checks.

It will cost alot of money with generating the paperwork and the postage fees.

There is a ton more of them than you think. It doesn't matter the full number of them, they are there, and plentiful. This was an appeasement to the middle class who are far to eager to get something......anything
