However, I don't think the stimulus check from last year is taxable (see <a href="http://www.irs.gov/newsroom/article/0,,id=203035,00.html" rel="nofollow">this article</a>, item 1). At least that's something, huh? I do feel like the government is pulling the old bait-and-switch routine on us with this new so-called "stimulus package," which just looks like an excuse to grow the government bigger than ever and take more control of the country than they have to date. I think we've definitely turned a corner in this country, and perhaps that turn is into a dark alley. I fear for our future way of life in this country.

What chaps MY ass is that economic stimulus check they sent out last year? Because we DO have a decent income, we had to pay that BACK when we filed our taxes this year. There is no justice in our system AT ALL. I’ve been saying the same thing about feeling manipulated ever since they started telling us we were having a recession.
