I didn't need it and decided to do some good with it.

I made a mortgage payment for my favorite waitress at the local diner.

She saved her tips for 27 years. Paid her bills with her tips and then, last year, bought her first house. With her tips.

The rest went to my church.

It’s in savings. The government will get their pound of flesh from me in taxes next year. They can have it back then.

I owed $800 more in 2019 taxes and had to pay $2800 first quarter 2020 taxes, with the second quarter payment due in 6 weeks. Customers ordering NOTHING. So I am basically handing it right back to the government to keep them off my back.

I saved money from last year, so I am good for a few months, but don’t know if I will even have a livelihood when the boot is lifted from our collective necks.

Here is the place to send your $$$ back to the Govt, if you don’t need or want it!!


How do you make a contribution to reduce the debt?

There are two ways for you to make a contribution to reduce the debt:

At Pay.gov, you can contribute online by credit card, debit card, PayPal, checking account, or savings account.

You can write a check payable to the Bureau of the Fiscal Service, and, in the memo section, notate that it’s a gift to reduce the debt held by the public. Mail your check to:

Attn Dept G
Bureau of the Fiscal Service
P. O. Box 2188
Parkersburg, WV 26106-2188

Still waiting on it.

Nothing fun.

Just hoping for enough to hang on for a little while longer.

The last year we’ve been knocked down by his hip break and heart attacks.

Dogs have food and that’s about as “prepped” and wild as it gets.

Even if the lockdown ends tomorrow, the little bit of increased interest in our home business will be gone.

People who buy our trike kits are either handicapped or veterans.

They’ll be broke, too.

As a middle class taxpayer I’ve paid more than my fair share over the years.

Keeping the return of my taxes to better my family.

My son-in-law is a hair stylist. Not allowed to work. I am hanging on to that stimulus check to help get us through this. I Am Furious!

Aside, my daughter went out with perfectly coifed hair the other day and she actually got stink eye! People are getting surly...

Nothing is free, there will be strings, ropes, anchor chains down the road. The idea is too nice...almost like a drug dealer passing out samples.
Sure its needed but its geing misused more than anyone knows.
