So, tried calling the IRS, today... to ask them if we can official refuse our Economic Stimulus Payment--give it back, lodge a protestation, etc. Because we really, collectively, don't have the funds for this--we can't spend all of our money as a nation and not take any in. It's all just a lone, any way you count it. Collectively, it's a loan from China. And I'd really like to register a complain to the effect of:
Even only counting individually, I'm sort-of expecting that we'll be taxed more heavily next year to make up for. That's how I remember my first Bush `tax relief' going.... So, the IRS put me on hold until I gave up. In the mean time, they offered canned answers to lots of questions like "When will I get my cheque?", "What can I do with my cheque?", "How much will my cheque be?", "What do I have to do to get my cheque?"..., etc. There weren't any questions like "How can I help buy my country back from China?" But I'll try again. Maybe I'll find an answer after all. [Reply] |
