I won't be getting the free moolah because my income is too high. Uncle Sam foolishly thinks that my spending $600 is not the equivalent of someone else who has a smaller income spending it. Except to note a certain Robin Hood-ish aspect to the $600 gift, I don't understand Uncle's logic. What bothers me most, however, is that since I pay higher taxes, I am subsidizing the wastrels who will get the rebate. I am thus not only being deprived of the $600, I am at the same time paying for it. In order to get subsidized like everyone else, I need to make lots and lots of money. In other words, be like Citi or some other wastrel bank that made horrible financial choices but which will be the beneficiary of billions in Fed non-recourse loans. If I were truly a big fish, the billions would rain on my head. Only in America.
