Tax Cut 2008

Will the government really stimulate the economy by issuing these rebates? The government is going to give an extra rebate of $600 if you are single or $1200 if you are married, plus an extra $300 per child. In this article it says that the rebate is just going to be a 2008 rebate that are received on the 2007 tax return. This seems to me like the government is looking for a quick fix, and if the people who get this extra rebate spend their money the stimulus package will have a postitve effect.

Don’t Blame The Burgers

This article talks about the many law suits that overweight kids and adults have brought against fast food chains for being unhealthy. Many of them have stirred a response from the restaurants that now offer healthy choice or low calorie options. It is so ridiculous that obese people even stand a chance of winning a law suit for overeating at a restaurant. I can’t believe that the idea to create such a law suit even exists. It is not fair to blame another for your own stupid mistakes. What’s next, are they going to raise taxes on fatty foods to prevent us from eating them? This is a joke.
