O K......we all get a give away. What are you going to do with yours? As for me, Biden just gave me 1400 to gamble on Bitcoin. What say you?

Squirrel it away, for the stormy days that are brewing.

Was giving serious consideration to 1400 lottery tickets

Your patriotic duty is to use that money to help stimulate the economy, not gamble with it.

EmilyD

The thing is...it's my money to begin with. Who do you think is paying for this? Or I should ask...where is the government getting the money for this? It's a really simple answer....

So as such, I can spend how I want to or not spend it at all, and it has nothing to do with being patriotic.

Dewey Dee

If I thought I could win, I would spend a few hundred on the lottery. However, I am not holding my breath. I have yet to read where we seniors would be getting a check. Only those who file income tax. Which I do not. My Social Security check is direct deposited. I'll wait and see.

A government big enough to give you everything you want is a government big enough to take from you everything you have.
Gerald R. Ford

The duty of a patriot is to protect his country from its government.
Edward Abbey

The liberties of our country, the freedoms of our civil Constitution are worth defending at all hazards; it is our duty to defend them against all attacks. We have received them as a fair inheritance from our worthy ancestors. They purchased them for us with toil and danger and expense of treasure and blood. It will bring a mark of everlasting infamy on the present generation – enlightened as it is – if we should suffer them to be wrested from us by violence without a struggle, or to be cheated out of them by the artifices of designing men.
Samuel Adams

Patriotism is not a short and frenzied outburst of emotion but the tranquil and steady dedication of a lifetime.
Adlai E. Stevenson

America was not built on fear. America was built on courage, on imagination and an unbeatable determination to do the job at hand.
Harry S. Truman

And what someone does with it is none of your darn business. You freaking liberals are all the same, bossy. Mind your own dang business and stay the heck out of ours! Mike

My SS check is not taxed but my retirement is and yet I had to send IRS $2300.00 and got $1400.00 back from State. I expect to get crucified next year. Mike

I read up on the taxing of social security. Seems a certain Senator from Delaware introduced social security benefit taxation in 1983 making the first 50% of the benefit subject to taxation. Ten years later, in 1993, that same Senator, champion for the elderly that he is, was the deciding vote in escalating the taxation on social security to the first 85% of the benefit being subject to taxes. This guy has been a train wreck for senior citizens his entire career. And after 47 years, he's just getting started. What an empty-headed weakling we have driving the bus.

Maybe I've got it backwards and am being taxed on SS and not on retirement. Either way I had to pay the fed and got a return from the state. About the same figures as last year. I'd rather not have taxes withheld as it will earn interest through out the year and at the end I just withdraw what I owe and pay it. Why would I want to let the whores in DC have my money early when I can earn interest off of it all year long? Mike

More ammo comes to mind.
