Monday is your lucky day, taxpayer, that’s when rebate checks start arriving, ahead of schedule. That’s right, the rebates were originally slated for May 2nd, but thanks to “a new computer program that updates records daily – faster than an older program that updates weekly,” Americans will start getting their free beer money on April 28th. Wow, IRS and efficiency together in the same sentence?

So is it $600 per taxpayer or $300? Qualifying kids add another $300? I read something on this but then heard contradictory accounts from people who talked to their (supposed)accountants.

Let’s fuckin go man, wooOoOoOo! Consumerist stripper frenzy! We can meet up in Mission Valley, raid my office for “supplies,” and then head on down.
I don’t qualify for a rebate. I hope those of you who don’t earn

jobs) have paid into the system for you. Oh, and you’re welcome
@PricklyPete: One of the hallmarks of the tax code is that it is progressive. On balance, that is the right way to run a government, I think. This is an extension of that.
