I’ve met plenty of stupid people in Alaska too. Like I said, seems to be everywhere at this point. I know plenty of idiots who vote for both parties so I doubt ideology has anything to do with it.

How so? Tax refunds are your money that they held interest free for up to a year. If you owe money at tax filing time, it’s their money (loosely speaking) that you have held interest free for up to a year. Only a sucker loans money interest free when it’s so easy to borrow money interest free instead.

Oh I wasn’t talking about that. You do know you don’t actually have to get a refund to sign up for direct deposit right?
Considering the IRS openly stated they were giving the stimulus to those signed up for direct deposit first, it makes me wonder what kind of idiot wouldn’t sign up for it when the government doesn’t need your permission to take your bank account away from you if they wanted to anyway.

Yeah … lot of Californian infiltration here too, particularly in and around Anchorage. But it it’s unlikely that they will ever prevail like they have elsewhere.

Through IRS? Not according to my tax form.
What kind of idiot gives the government authority to take away their bank account?
Who said anyone has to give them authority? 
If you don’t have to wear it while sitting at the table, what was the point of wearing it in the door?

How many people are you coming into contact with between the door and the table where you’re seated? Why does the wait staff wear masks the whole time? The answer seems obvious to me but apparently has to be spelled out for some people for some weird reason.

They cannot access your account without your permission or with a warrant, which requires probable cause.
The point is, I don’t get a tax return and thus have not given them my bank information.
There hasn’t been a line to get into a restaurant around here in a year. So the answer to your question is one or two people. Not counting the people you’ll be dining near maskless anyways.

The stimulus is projected to lower the total Americans pay in taxes by nearly $500 billion in fiscal 2021, according to Congress’ Joint Committee on Taxation. That’s about equal to 2.25% of the nation’s economy.
Good stuff. No thanks to the GOP.

Odd, could have sworn the left kept telling me cutting taxes without cutting spending was irresponsible. Guess it’s (D)ifferent now.

It sure is different.
This time the tax cuts aren’t directed to to the wealthiest.

No? My stock portfolio says otherwise, made far more from this than any poor person did.
