From the DU thread above:

"I would not be in this store if I had not gotten such a large tax refund."

" That is what I told a salesman at our local Porch and Patio store today. I was considering several different styles of furniture to replace the crappy porch stuff we bought YEARS ago and never replaced. I am not buying really expensive stuff but still, WE ARE BUYING. I made that abundantly clear and I said "Thank you President Obama!"

The salesman said that he had SEVERAL customers come in saying the same thing: they had a windfall of tax refunds they had not expected and came to their store to buy their stuff. I said "It shows you how the stimulus works, doesn't it?"

I am going back to their store and probably buying some of their products and happy that I can "educate" someone on what Democrats are REALLY all about!! "

Yeah, the problem is these people at DU that wallow in their own ignorance have the right to vote.

Yeah, these morons let the government have their money to play with for a year instead of keeping it in their own pockets. Increase the number of your dependents, idiots.

"Not buying really expensive stuff" is probably code for CHEAP. Gotta wonder if they spent their refund windfalls at evil WallyMart? :D

BINGO! These people are braindead! My household hasn't had a tax refund in over 30 years. It's a policy etched in stone in my home that we pay what we OWE to the government on or very close to April 15th. This year is no different.

Thanks guys, but if I'm such a winner, why haven't I been able to find a steady job in a year? :D

I know a lot of people have a problem with the government using their money for the year. I always get a large refund. To me it's a forced savings plan. I know that I recieve no interest on the money, but I also know that I would not save the $20 or $30 or $40 extra dollars each week. At least not all of it.
Then when I get my refund, I can use it to purchase a big ticket item I need, or to pay off a debt, or as I have done the last several years, I use it as my wagering bankroll. Some years I end up with a nice return on that investment and some years not so much.

At no time do I think Obama (or any president) is giving me a gift. :bang:

Forced saving with no interest.
I do not need stinking government to help me do anything, especially when they are screwing everyone under the current system of thievery.

There is no way of proving this, but I think that I will have more extra money using my method at the end of the year than you will have using yours. Especially with the fact that interest rates are so low. And if you put your money in the stock market lately, I doubt your return has been that good.

Why not take it a step further, and let the government control a forced living plan. Why not turn over your entire pay to the government and receive a "living" return periodically.

Hey, hey, hey... easy on Mostpost... he's a little bit whacky, but of all his fellow ultra-liberals, he at least makes some effort at supporting his often misguided theories. We've got people in here that clearly cannot think for themselves; at least Mostpost gives the illusion more often than not that he's drawn his conclusions from some sort of critical thought.

How the heck are you going to have "more extra money" by "depositing" it with the government and earning NO interest? :bang: :bang: (How your brain works defies understanding!) I deposit money into one of my saving accounts at the end of every month and I earn compounded interest. Little secret: It's called DISCIPLINE. In fact, earlier this morning I made my ritualistic deposit -- a deposit, incidentally, that covers a host of reasons that all into the category of "anticipated expenses", such as medical, taxes, etc. "Anticipated" is the key term here in case you missed it. :rolleyes:

I'm afraid to ask, but how does no interest provide more money than low interest?

[Robert Goren]

Forced saving with no interest.
I do not need stinking government to help me do anything, especially when they are screwing everyone under the current system of thievery.The banks are paying next to no interest on saving accounts anyway.

Maybe you should either buy the Wall Street Journal or tune in CNBC once in a while. If you had put your money in the stock market (S&P Index) a year ago it would have more than doubled.

New math, Tom. It's all the rage in schools these days.

The banks are paying next to no interest on saving accounts anyway. But they pay more than the government, and they do not force me to invest there.
Screw the United States Government- the frigging thieves!

Ahh...Less = More. 0% >= 1.5% Makes perfect [no]sense. Is it any wonder there are people here who really believe that Liberalism is a disease of the mind?

I'm speaking for me and maybe I stated it badly. For me, I would spend at least some of that money. So, now I get $2000 as my tax refund. If I invest at 5% interest (If I could get such a return) I would have $2100. For simpicity's sake I am ignoring the fact that I would not have the entire $2000 to invest for the entire year.
More importantly, I will surely spend some of that $2000 at some time. Even if I spend as little as $100 my principle plus interest will be $1995. Less than the $2000 I get back as a refund.
As for the stock market, me in the stock market would be like having a blind man as an art critic, or a deaf man as a music critic. :D

[johnhannibalsmith]

But that extra $100 could pay for swine flu vaccinations for a family of five being deprived of medical insurance. Get your priorities straight you greedmonger. :p

Because I choose to "loan" the money temporarily to the government. (I'm a patriot!!!) They are required to return it to me. It's not their choice.
And shame on you for whatever it was you said. :lol: :lol: :lol:

If you had put it in 2 years ago you wouldn't be back even yet. If had put in the last year of Clinton's term you wouldn't be back to even yet either. Timing is everything. Buy stocks just after a democrat becomes president and sell them just before he leaves. ;)

I hear the same thing all the time, people getting stoked about large refunds. Hell, even small refunds of a few hundred bucks. Usually people that have a hard time saving any money. And not that this helps, cause they blow their refund anyway.

That said, I remember a lot of people praising Bush for their tax refund under the last go around stimulus, I don't see a lot of difference between that and this extra $400 or whatever it was, just who's doing the praising and who's doing the criticizing.

Who's to Bless and Who's to Blame.

This post reminds me of yet another Chicago nitwit, Al Bundy (only, I liked Al..!) One episode, Al mentions to Katie Segal he's going to open a Xmas savings account (every year he blows his cash, has nothing left for presents).

She says 'Oh, you mean the accounts that morons open at low interest rates, as opposed to other types of savings accounts that earn a much higher interest?"

Thanks mailbagger, you're the gift that keeps on giving.
