They can keep the $800, I won’t miss what they already stole. If they want make an impact on most of us, they should cut the corporate tax rate and watch equity-based 401k’s and IRA’s soar.
So if they do hand out $800 per individual and the money is taxable (how silly is that?), then the smart move might be to add $800 to your 401k, if you’re not full up for they year. Wouldn’t that make the $800 non-taxable for this year?
