Better luck next time, us.

Yep we are all in the top 5-8% of earners in the USA, top 5%+ in the world

I graduated last year and only worked 4 months. This is a Christmas miracle!

Hey! You don't fit the minimum income requirements for CB!

people earning more than $99,000 would get nothing

BYUfan92

3/19/20 8:08pm

Single earners with AGI over $99k yes

BYUFootballisBack

3/19/20 8:09pm

Joint over $198k also nothing.

The silly thing is that 100k in California is like 45k in Mississippi

thebruce

3/19/20 8:10pm

So true. No one ever considers cost of living in these things.

SandYFan

3/19/20 8:10pm

The government is incredibly dumb

thebruce

3/19/20 8:14pm

Sure, but living in Mississippi is punishment enough.

Zach Morris

I’d rather live in Mississippi than California

thebruce

Hard pass on Mississippi

LakeshowCougs

There are some really nice places in Mississippi.

It’s not like you have a choice. You are under house arrest

Thats a good point

Where does it say anything about joint in that article? So not tied to

LiveCoug

3/19/20 8:15pm

Not official. Another article:

rainorsnow

3/19/20 8:15pm

Its in the actual release, the article has a link to the 247 page report

This part is silly:

garyfan

3/19/20 8:16pm

That amount of money would do nothing for me anyway.

Belboz

3/19/20 8:19pm

It’s not going to solve anyone’s problems. But if we’re going to

garyfan

3/19/20 8:21pm

I like the idea of giving more to people like my adult children

Belboz

3/19/20 8:23pm

$198k puts you in the top 1-2% of earners in the USA...

BYUFootballisBack

3/19/20 8:20pm

Huh? Are you talking about individual income, or household income?

kos

3/19/20 8:24pm

Yeah that was individual, household $200k looks like its closer to top 8-9%

BYUFootballisBack

3/19/20 8:26pm

Two incomes push to that without either income being too high

Belboz

3/19/20 8:31pm

Maybe its wrong, but I feel sorry for anyone making that much money and living

BYUFootballisBack

3/19/20 9:11pm

This is a horrible take!!! I got killed for it

LakeshowCougs

3/20/20 9:12am

This article says the top 1% of wage earners starts at $513,000. That was in 2017

YIsForBrigham

3/19/20 8:39pm

Then also top 1-2% of taxpayers. And they’re hurting, too.

garyfan

3/19/20 8:25pm

Will they use AGI from 2018?

SuperTank

3/19/20 8:18pm

$4400 coming my way and I don't need it...I'll throw it at my student loans or

WhirleyPop

3/19/20 8:18pm

At least pump SOME into the economy

LiveCoug

3/19/20 8:20pm

Exactly. Go out to eat and tip big. Go on a trip and stay at a hotel and support

Ojiisan

Invest in rolls of TP

mwcoug

3/19/20 8:22pm

I think it’s dumb that a family that made $175k and is employed gets a payment,

ray ray

3/19/20 8:19pm

Yeah thats the intersting part to me... people that lost their jobs need it most

BYUFootballisBack

3/19/20 8:21pm

Sounds like it's got plenty of things that don't make sense, but it appears that it's got momentum and I

rainorsnow

3/19/20 8:23pm

They start scaling it down from 150 to 198k. So someone who makes 175 gets 48%

Blue Print

3/19/20 8:23pm

Based off of 2018 AGI. So if you lost your job last year or this year, you're out of luck.

mik3

3/19/20 8:22pm

It's pretty dumb. They're probably thinking of the quickest way to get money into people's hands. This way they can just

rainorsnow

3/19/20 8:26pm

It’s a stimulus package, not income replacement like unemployment. Different purpose.

Turnpike Lane

3/19/20 8:31pm

I disagree.

garyfan

3/19/20 8:38pm

You can but you’re wrong. People who get the stimulus and are unemployed can still get unemployment.

Turnpike Lane

3/19/20 8:40pm

I disagree that that’s the underlying purpose and motivation.

garyfan

3/19/20 8:45pm

I know. But that stimulus should include the unemployed, especially since a non-negligible number of them

mik3

3/19/20 8:57pm

2019? Or 2018?

OPINIONS

3/19/20 8:26pm

2018

rainorsnow

3/19/20 8:27pm

2018. 2019 is what we'll be filling now, not feasible to use it.

mik3

3/19/20 9:12pm

Do you get $500 per child regardless

Well, poop. In 2018 I was able to report a loss... Sucks for me.
