shAARP Talk: Observations from AARP

(Category: Financial Security)

Congress passed an economic stimulus package, but you gotta fill out a tax form. Confused? Check out AARP’s new tool to help with the economic stimulus payment application process. It’s easy and you might even get a few bucks from the feds for doing it.

I know that everyone who gets a few bucks back from the government is going to enjoy it, but in reality it is going to do more harm then good, after all who is going to end up paying the interest that the Fed bank is going to charge for the loan that they made in order to do what, $600.00 is not going to make much of a difference for most people, sure there are some who could use it, but the vast majority could get along without it.
We need more fiscal reform, not a one time check for a few bucks, why not reduce the tax burden by 10% oh wait they can't do that they are in the red already, the IRS is just another form of organized crime.
We need Washington to stop spending like a bunch of drunken sailors, and start acting for the tax payers, not themselves.
