The proposed DOGE rebate is based on currently paid tax savings. If you didn't pay Income Tax during the period they are saving the money in, you won't get a check. This is NOT a stimulus check. Lets hope the plan includes a way to get as much money as possible back from all the decades of theft.

Thank God... I was pissed with the original "Everyone gets $5,000!" idea. No fucking way. As a biz owner, the Fed has legitimately vacuumed up nearly 50% of all of my company's income for 15 years.
If this is a rebate based on the amount of taxes paid in to the system? I could almost retire.
It's really, really, really fucking bad as a biz owner. They structure the tax laws to basically ignore employee compensation, and structure the income tax as-if I have zero expenses or salary.
To even begin to make me square after this theft would need to be closer to $1mm in what I would consider to be egregious over-taxation. Taxes are the sole reason that I haven't been able to grow the business as quickly as I should. It's the equivalent of an employee being robbed at gunpoint every day they go to work.
It's fucking disgusting. To even consider that I'd be getting a $5,000 check... while my neighbor, who is a fucking clown silver spoon loser who doesn't do shit, would also get $5,000... is a violent slap to the face.
This needs to be either KEPT by DOGE and used to fund important programs, used to eliminate taxes altogether, or, if for some reason they are hellbent on paying people back - it NEEDS to be based on how much tax was stolen from you, not just a flat blanket refund.
Taxes are so insanely unfair and financially damaging, I've actually considered going out of my way to hire a shady "grey" accountant to exploit loopholes and take my chances. Fuck the IRS. Fuck the Fed. Fuck the Banks. Fuck the Hedge Funds. All financial terrorists actively working against the USA.
Yeah, while not business owners, my wife and I paid 12K in income tax last year. 5K back would be sweet! However, I want compensation for all the decades of income taxes, too. America is pro-corporations and anti-small business or worker bees.
I'm retired. 53 years in the work force and got ripped off for all of them. Biden gave SS a 2.5% raise and told Trump "good luck with the price of eggs". I'm glad that income taxes will probably go away. The savings for them will be huge and life long. If anyone needs the 5K its the retired people. Young people don't understand that the boomers got taken for a ride for their whole life.
Lol, bro, I'm in between Boomers and Gen Z... my parents are boomers, at least Boomers had the USD value and paced earnings w/ cost of living.
Imagine leaving college w/ an advanced degree. Getting an "amazing" job @ $50k - $60k/year, and then staring down the barrel of the cheapest home in your area being $500k - $600k.
Most Boomers I know were able to survive, thrive and retire on a single income household. There's absolutely no chance of that in today's economy for 95% of them/us.
Every generation was taken for a ride... Centennials having it worse than everyone. But the last 20 years have been an absolute clusterfuck of rising prices, reduced wages, and brutal taxes.
Economic fallout and unemployment spikes in the late 80's was bad. But that's essentially been the existence of Gen Z.
You must have known the upper crust of the boomers.
