Inflation refund checks are on the way!!

[Saltwater60]

Hochul sending out inflation refund checks worth up to $400. Stupid game she’s playing. Inflation wasn’t an issue under Biden but now she’s playing it up under Trump. I’ll get $300, but it won’t make me vote for the horrible person she is

I'd be shocked if one shows up for me in TN. I did file a NYS tax return that year.

 

[JunkBoxFull]

You can`t buy my vote because I don`t accept bribes from a corrupt government with the money that they`ve stolen from the people.

Ooo, looks like the Playboy Bunny will have GG cups this year!

 

[BMF JK]

I’m going to buy ammo … in Pennsylvania.

Only a liberal could come up with a plan to fight inflation that involves the government sending cash out to random people.

That's like filling your fire truck with gasoline instead of water because gas is "stronger".

I will get $300 and that’s one week of groceries for us. I’ve been paying inflated prices for 5 years now so I don’t think $300 will help me much or make up for it. I don’t expect the government to do that, but I do expect them not to be so stupid to raise inflation while fighting it. Even that is a failure though as you state here.

If we get a bill from the IRS for their vig, let's class action Google.

"Generally, state refunds tied to income eligibility are not subject to federal income tax"

I just wished I could donate my check to a fund to pay for her self inflicted demise

 

[RedBreast21]

Your tax dollars used to purchase votes.

First, you must admit that these checks have NOTHING to do with inflation or countering it. Next you must admit that sending out a "rebate" check of some kind, regardless of the label put upon it has, and is a time rested political move designed to curry favor with the voters.

I'm quite sure that the State will determine that I don't deserve a check because I make too much and obviously don't pay my fair share. However, EVERY SINGLE ONE of those welfare queens will be getting a check despite not paying a damn dime in taxes.

I'll take their bribe and donate it to Stefaniks campaign .

I think the income level is like $330,000 for a married couple and half that for a single person. I’m getting $300, not $400, but yes the rest of your comments are spot on. I’m not sure this will do much for her to get votes. $300/$400 is nothing these days.

 

[zorro]

And I assume you then pay tax on it as taxable income

It's not HER money...she has to TRY....

 

[holdover]

300 dollars is an insult. What is that supposed to offset? How does that even help anyone?

Not that I want or need it , But it doesnt do a whole hell of a lot for anyone

 

[S&W Fan]

Same here.

Its your slap in the face from the government.

I know it’s not her money. I just said I don’t think $300 or $400 is enough to buy a vote these days.

Many will feel this way. I hope people are offended by it and it costs her votes.

Those who would have already voted for her will accept this "gift" as their due.
Those who will never vote for her may, or may not, accept this "gift", and will still not vote for her.

And Dominion doesn't give a damn about refund checks.

All I know is a Republican won’t on governor in NYS in the next election. Not sure it will be Hochul though.

 

[Rocpo]

Just ordered a Raven Concealment holster.
I love spending refunds from NY on gun stuff

You are correct, but I took the check anyway and will NOT vote for Hoochie. That money will pay for about 5 months of a new RX that my wife needs.

 

[holdover]

Anyone that sends me $300 of my own money over a 4 year period has got my vote! less than 100 bucks a year is big money !


Thats a reflection of her understanding of people and the economy

Governor Kathy Hochul's government salary was approximately $259,804 in 2024.
