I can't see this tax break, or any other break the government gives as helping the economy much. The tax rebate is Politics and nothing else.

Our future and our economy depends on each of us, not Uncle Sam.

Why not save your hard earned money by reducing your expendetures by 10 percent! Why not take this 10 percent and stick it into a safe and secure vehicle of investment!

Anybody in the world can gain wealth, if they will but save a portion of their income, and create for themselves an estate. Try getting by on 10 percent less, and you will soon find you will have an economic future.

Give it all to the Bankers, Auto Dealers, Booze Salemen, etc. and you will not only have nothing, but you will find yourself falling behind, as you will owe others, and still remained unsatisfied and unable to gratify your so called "needs"

Why not start a seed and nurture it? Don't have money? Tighten your belt! Do without something for a while. Get an extra part-time. Maybe even three if it is necessary!

Do whatever it takes: work hard, mess around less, tear up your credit cards and pay cash whenever it is possible!

We are a nation of DEBTORS and SPENDERS not a nation of savers and investors. This is the reason for the bad economy, NOT THE BAD ECONOMY ITSELF. Create an estate for yourself and your future.

Money in the hands of fools is soon gone, despite any gratuity from the government. (if you doubt me, consult your local banker)

If the only thing, the American People have to help prop up this economy is the lousy $300 tax rebate, We are in trouble far beyond anyone's imagination.

I was 100 percent broke last year. I got myself a sleeping room, worked 70 hour work weeks, and saved $12,000 which went directly into the bank.

(I am young and single). From this $12,000 I bought my own mobile, I own my car (which is reliable and about 4 years old now) I have a CREDIT CARD balance which I now am paying off every month in about $650.00 increments. I wouldn't have even had a credit card debt, but I used it as a cash advance for a couple of thousand dollars for start up living expenses when I moved in.

By December I will be entirely debt free. And will be able to keep $1200 of what I earn EVERY SINGLE MONTH. This money goes directly to me. Not to everyone else to make someone else rich.

You may be thinking: Big deal! A mobile home. He's Trailer Trash. But big trees grow from small acorns!

I have no expenses! Everything I own is mine: paid for in cash! If I keep doing this (which I intend to) I can use my present assetts and savings to buy a HOUSE in cash. Within about 6 more years.

I deliver pizzas for a living which isn't all that great of an income. So nobody give me that crap about low wages. Granted I don't have a family, (which I can sympathize might be a legitimate excuse for lack of money) but I am an un-insured type one diabetic who spends close about $300 out of my own pocket in medical expenses.

Anyway learn to manage your money and you will have a great economic future, despite the poor economy unemployment figures, taxes etc. This above anything else is the economic break we should be looking for, not the tax rebate.

I am spending mine!
