Will tax paying non citizens be eligible or will they get hit with the "public charge" BS rule recently enacted? I know we Americans are all about "personal responsibility" so we'd never want immigrants to carry our water.

Yipeeeee they say . . . .

So you guys, who have been the party of free handouts for so long, now are opposed to it?

Are you asking about non-citizens who are here legally or illegally?

Oh, I see, you do not distinguish. Never mind.

If you filed a Tax return in 2018 you get a check. If you’re totally on some type of total disability retirement, government assistance your income isn’t affected. It needs to be targeted towards people whose incomes are impacted. Working Joe not Handout Joe

It will be taxable income in 2020!

I would almost feel better about this if it were actually limited to citizens. But because this kind of shit happens, I say fuck NO. If Mitt Romney and Andrew Yang want to pony on up, fine. The rest of us? Fuck to the NO.

Hey, I get a 90 day extension on writing that check to Uncle Sugar. Being the good American I am I will once again send them the money before the 15th. I have the money to write the check and am grateful for that. They're gonna need it.

Exactly, been using extensions every year since Trump took office. It all goes to his inflated stock market

Some people call it being smart
