Simple solution: give everyone the $2,000 they were promised, then tax the ultra rich slightly more to account for the check that they didn't need. It really isn't that complicated, and no one gets left out. Not to say that the rich shouldn't be taxed a lot more - they should - but I'm just speaking specifically to the issue.
Seriously.. I’m 19 and moved out 2 months ago, started working about 4 months ago. I could really use the stimulus, but I think I’m just left out of the equation because I’m too new to adulthood?
This is true as for many 2019 income is not reflective of the reality of 2020 due to COVID. However, the delay in waiting for people to file their taxes in order to use this data (and what if they have them ready but owe and have no funds to pay?) is needless considering the lack of response by congress.
Pay everyone immediately and worry about that crap later if you must or maybe consider how screwed over people have been by all the millionaire on capital hill and so what if a family has been lucky enough be okay and has a little extra to pour into the economy.
