Hardcore troubadour 12,588 Posted April 10, 2020 It is something that so many who don’t report their income and pay taxes are going to be subsidized by those who do. What a racket. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How else are they going to pay for their smokes and scratch tickets? BTW - I believe that people have already started receiving that $600. I don't have anyone here on unemployment (son still working and wife got "rehired" as part of the stimulus package), so I don't know for sure, but a friend said his daughter received her's yesterday. She is a waitress and works at a kids gym. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
