Cool Tax Rebate?????

I am still trying to get all the facts on these candidates. Since the Missouri primary is coming up, I am starting to review more information. My time is limited so I am waiting so I do not have to read up on guys that are quitting....i.e. Freddy.

This is an interesting thought on the tax refund. I am not saying it's the right thing to do, just a different idea. Here is some of my takes on a tax rebate:

Is it a rebate to begin with....or should we call it a citizen bonus. I am sure that I will not be getting a "tax refund" although I pay taxes. Most candidates want to income limit the "refund" Let’s get it into the hands of people that will readily spend it. Low income are part of the recipients....really no problem with that...it's true. I get $900 in May.....probably will go in the bank. So I understand the whys....just don't call it a tax refund...a majority of those folks do not pay any federal income tax. You cannot "refund" something to someoe who has not paid into the system.

Next...we do need a stimulus package and the Government is in charge of that! After reading Greenspan's "book" ...ok the guy's arm is tired from being in the self appreciation club, however, he does really expose Government's role in the economy. Like it or not!

The Huckster has a point.....other countries do finance or debt...China being a major player...so the chances that they will be financing the "refund" is not that outlandish.....how about some spending cuts to pay for it...oh what a novel idea..... Most people with a $900 check will go and spend it on....Chinese goods....another assumption that has merit. One of the issues of building the roads.....does not immediately stimulate the economy. This is the type of debate, however, that we should be having!

More on this later.... onto the cool stuff.

In the past 3-4 months we have upgraded all of our employee's computers to dual monitors. It's a $350-$400 investment. It has been the biggest productivity gainer we have put in place for the office worker. Here is a link to Microsoft http://www.microsoft.com/athome/moredone/twomonitors.mspx
It explains what you need to do to convert your present computer. One concern....make sure you can get the card for your specific computer. Out of the 15 units we upgraded....1 of them could not be done. It was one of those micro case Dell machines.

Good Luck
