If the government is willing to give you your own money back then take it. Can't believe people were saying not to take the first round of Covid relief

The people who hate Trump, i encouraged them to send the checks back. Fuck 'em. The man tried to help and they kept shitting on him.

Exactly! If they hated Trump, then they should stop enjoying his tax cuts. They’re free to continuing paying the difference to the IS Treasury.

Agreed! As long as the government can afford to give billions to other countries, I will not complain about them giving us back some of our own money. As soon as they stop squandering our tax dollars, then I’ll start being concerned about our debt.

They’re not giving you back the money they stole from you. They’re printing new notes because they already spent everything else.

People were taking the money, but mad (seriously) that Trump was cutting payroll taxes last year to try and help with covid relief since congress wasn't moving on the 2k Trump wanted to send out.

Once you cash that check, your household becomes federally funded. And the government now owns your ass. Too bad I cashed the first one without thinking about it that way.

And if you don’t cash it they still own you.

Use it to buy an AR.

3D printer. Free Men Don't Ask glock frames. Need a dremmel, file, glock internal parts kit (buy rails separately) and slide. Regular PLA lasts about 1000 rounds. Can print in polycarbonate for a lasting frame. Do not sell or give these away.

Note that you need a glock locking block as well (the internal parts kits I got and rails didn't have this and it delayed my build)

How does cashing it mean the gov owns my ass? They take my money away. I'll take it back before they send it overseas or spend it on Dem cities.

The fed takes my money. Does that mean I own their ass?

I'm not following your logic.

It 100% SHOULD mean you own their asses. Unfortunately the rot has spread quite far

Think about it this way. If the government makes laws that are enforced on federally funded property or institutions such as mask mandates or no guns or any other bullshit they make up, well now your household is now federally funded if you accept the stimulus checks. And i know its outside the realm of normal rational thinking, but these are democrats and this is clown world. We have no rights if big brother says so.

Government is in reality established by the few; and these few assume the consent of all the rest, without any such consent being actually given.

It's all hypothetical though, and if the gov wants to own you it won't matter whether you took the money or not. They'll find a way to do it.

What law or precept officially makes one government funded for receiving money from the feds? Don't we all do this with our tax rebates?

In the case of taxation, a man’s surrender to the threat of coercion demonstrates no voluntary preference whatsoever for any alleged benefits he receives.

― Murray N. Rothbard

If you pay taxes, taking this money is just taking a very small portion of the amount extorted from you back.

You shouldn't feel bad about it.
