It sounded like his complaint was more about the principal of a middle american long time tax payer not getting the benefit while those who don't pay taxes do benefit, than actually needing the $600.
yea i caught that, but about that. you do have to pay some sort of taxes from the articles ive read. its not like just anyone gets the check. only people who pay income tax or social security tax in 07
you cant just have some dude on welfare get a check. its not working that way.
