    Uncle Sam was pretty... needy at best at tax time. However, when I first came to Arkansas and filled out taxes and learned the revenuer system as they do it here. Its a eye opener. So we had to make changes to how we withheld money to force a break even or a small refund despite everything.

    As the working years progressed the more we learned Taxes here the easier it was to work to a certain income level and then just take off the rest of the year so when tax time came around we come out a little bit ahead minus taxes we must pay on the earned income. Just not too much. And continually built savings. Only paid what we had to and not a penny more.

    I don't know of any Nation in the world that does ownership the way we do. We the People are supposed to be full owners of everything. Even the land and roads on it. Also the lights at night to clear the way. However I think we lost a little something along the way. I just don't know how we can fix this. But think there will need to be a future or none at all. I was speaking in broad ideas here. Nothing too difficult or inflammatory.

    A very long time ago as a preteen Im up in the gallery above the House in the Capitol This would probably be around 1976 or so. What a day that was. We were told to sit quietly and pay attention. House was working on a debate by limited time prior to procedural votes. But to us children we didnt know what if anything was actually being done.

    One kid piped up... in that clear high voice that echoed through the entire space...

    .."They aint doing anything."...

    pause then scattered snickers followed by hammer from pro temproe speaker and order.

    Mouth of babes.

    Government money people complain about taking the money, the fact is yes there will be increase tax down the line, but that will dwarf the giant depression we gonna have more people on welfare so in short more 30+ men in there moms basement. Spend the money even if you send it back somehow we all will foot the bill somehow. We will reach a new low because America has never stopped working we have come to a crawl but never stopped.

    It's why I think they need force major manufactures make masks and gloves something along the lines like WW2 instead of tanks they make this some might say the cost doing that be high no it will still be dwarfed compared this bogus free money that we can't afford, order people get back to work those who don't have serious issues like mental health or physical issues to get back work and act like grown adults. If they did this and made a mandatory dress code to wear a face mask and gloves the pandemic would be better off.

    To people who compare us to China, does not care for its own people. They would have you dig a ditch and shoot you because that's how little they care about people's lives they only thing they care about control of there own people. That same way thinking is no different than Russia, to be clear I am stating against china government, not the actual people.

    These people who are showing prejudice against the Asian community, I personally believe they were raised, hateful racist people, and are using this pandemic show their true colors and they are no better than the people who like dress up with those white sheets over there heads.

    Am assuming you think he should have transferred the money to swiss for those who don't know the US has seized, money before from a swiss account, even if that was not the case, they could still retrieved it other ways one would not allow him to leave the country with passport, and have him pay extra taxes on the money to point he would owe. The best part he would go to prison accident or not IRS has a funny way putting even the most untouchable criminals in prison.

    If you are waiting for your $1200, you will be waiting a few days longer than when you were first scheduled to receive it. The hold up, the treasury department is adding Donald J Trump to the memo line.
