The socialist illuminati will spend more money trying to give those who haven't worked for it a stimulus check, and those of us that are working will either not get it because of what we make, or not get as much, but somehow still end up paying it back.

However, I have seen the math, and it doesn't work. All stats are pulled from http://www.taxfoundation.org/research/show/250.html The top 1% make over $388,000. The top 2-5% over $153,500. So, if he is only going to add tax to the top 5%, how can he say no one under $250,000 in income will see no additional taxes? This is completely contradicted by the numbers.
