Trump should sign no stimulus money for states that are keeping churches and schools closed. These states are mini-tyrannies and they cannot be rewarded

The federal government is supposed to protect the constitutional rights of all Americans

When basic rights are being violated by the states, the federal government should not be rewarding those states with bailouts.

The right to freely worship is fundamental and it’s being flagrantly abridged in California and other states

There should be no federal covid subsidies for any state that persists in denying their citizens this most basic constitutional freedom

In an earlier era the federal government might have sent troops against a state that was holding its citizens hostage by suspending their core freedoms. The least Trump could do today is refuse to send bailouts or subsidies to governors who are suspending the bill of rights

The stimulus check is a tax credit, which reduces your tax bill on a dollar-for-dollar basis. It’s like having store credit at your favorite clothing shop — when you apply it to your total bill, it reduces what you owe.

You usually can’t claim a tax credit until you file your taxes since you don’t know what you owe until the year is over. Because of the severity of this national crisis, the government is giving qualifying taxpayers their credit early in the form of a cash payment. It will not affect your refund this year or next.

No. Make those citizens punish their rulers genius.

The U.S. taxpayer does not owe bailouts to bad states and cities.

Not to be a grammar Nazi here but it should be ‘’any’’, not ‘’no’’.

Yeah - much better to aid and abet those who aid and abet the anarchists....if the citizens don’t suffer because of their elected “leaders”, what incentivizes them to change them?
What does the actual “genius” say?
