What are you going to do with your $1200 rebate?

[Jerk]

I'm thinking new widescreen TV or much-needed computer upgrade.

A new gun would be nice but the wife would not approve.

I suppose the liberals will send their rebate back based on principle.;)

But the government wants you to spend the money; not save it, so I think I can be a good citizen and comply.

Okay, so I haven't kept up with this tax rebate as much as I should have. I heard tid bits on the radio about it yesterday and last week. How much money am I looking at getting back as a married man with one child? And if Bush approves it, are these totals set no matter what our regular taxes come to for April 15th??

The Oklahoman had a detailed article on it yesterday that explained it well. You might try their website.

I've had my eye on a Hello Kitty assault weapon. Now I can finally afford it.

[Viking Kitten]

Two chicks at the same time.

Two chicks at the same time.
That makes 3 chicks.

[OCUDad]

In.

thanks. Just read it...that's pretty much what I heard on the radio yesterday..but on the radio they were saying it so fast, it's good to see it in writing.


......Under the plan, individuals who pay income taxes would get up to $600, working couples $1,200 and those with children an additional $300 per child under the agreement. Workers who make at least $3,000 but don't pay taxes would get $300 rebates.....
So I'm looking at getting $1500. That would be nice.
I would either:
a) pay off a credit card
or
b) start building my fence for my large back yard

[OUDoc]

c) OU season tickets. Well, probably just one.

[OUDoc]

And I'll believe it when it's in my mailbox.

[jk the sooner fan]

hmm, we were looking at a flat screen not too long ago

that would help the economy...

Cue that one dude who always talks about bowhunting the bobcat.

"HELLO, KITTY? GOODBYE, KITTY!"

[OCUDad]

"HELLO, KITTY? GOODBYE, KITTY!"Actually, I'd prefer to talk about your "three chicks at one time" proposal. The rifle can wait.

[OU-HSV]

c) OU season tickets. Well, probably just one.
Exactly what I'd like to do.
But realistically, I know it's a better move for myself and my family to pay some debt down. Or build my fence, so we don't have to worry as much about our son when he's playing in the yard.
But I will still make a few games this season as I always do. It just won't come directly out of that tax rebate (if we get it) :D

[Jerk]

Saving money is for suckas.

I really want to build a gaming machine, but the wife has not approved :mad:

[OU-HSV]

I just ran into this article


http://tulsa.cox.net/cci/newsnational/national?_mode=view&_state=maximized&view=article&id=D8UDLPS81&_action=validatearticle


...The White House and House leaders of both parties reached agreement on a simply drawn stimulus program, which would provide tax rebate checks to 117 million families and give businesses $50 billion in incentives to invest in new plants and equipment. In his weekly radio address, Bush asked Congress to approve the agreement "as soon as possible."....

Tikka T3 Hunter .270, put me a Leupold 2x7 on there. :D

Course I'll only be gettin back $600, but I can kick in some.

[MamaMia]

I plan to buy some Dairy Queen gift certificates, hire a lawn boy and invest the rest in some risky stock venture.

[Jimminy Crimson]

hmm, we were looking at a flat screen not too long ago

that would help an Asian economy...

;)

Check out the ballistics of a .260 Remington. With the right bullet selection, you can have the same trajectory as a .300 Win. Mag with waaaaay less recoil (High B.C. bullets)

6.5 mm has never caught on in America like it has in Europe. I don't know why, it is a fantastic round. A .260 Remington with a Lapua 123 gr bullet has a BC of over .547 and will go supersonic past 1400 yards.

Since it's the government handing out money that they've already collected, I'd think that conservatives would refuse the extra government spending. :D

[Frozen Sooner]

And I'm going to use it to pay on debt. Hey, I already did my part! :D I don't actually have any big purchases I want to make right now.

[Flagstaffsooner]

Olevet and I are going to make sure that Anheuser-Busch employees get plenty of overtime. Now that will stimulate the economy!

[Whet]

I don't think we get any rebate $$, but I have not told my wife yet!

So, I'll get to buy something and just tell her I'll pay for it with the rebate money!!

[Tailwind]

I'll decide when I actually get it. But there are so many things I need/want. $600.00 won't really go very far.

You forgot "waste the rest"...

[TopDaugIn2000]

straight into savings, to be used on the kitchen remodel

[SoonerStormchaser]

Buy my wife Botox! ;)


Seriously, a trip to Alaska might be in the works...since I might head to Elmendorf in a few years.

[pott_2]

I going to have it all changed into singles and roll around in it on the bed.... like in Indecent Proposal...
I may invite my wife.. or not.

[LilSooner]

New safety pool cover.

[1stTimeCaller]

if I did get any monies from the gubmint I would just give it back to pay for opportunities society has afforded me.

Only in America can a guy work hard and make sacrifices to get ahead.

[RUSH LIMBAUGH is my clone!]

I will use it to pay for part of my next tax bill, or donate to the Hillary campaign fund.

[StoopTroup]

I'm going to Disneyland!

What rebate?

[soonerhubs]

It's never enough dole for the dems to be happy!:mad: :mad: :mad: http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,329132,00.html

Someone just pass this thing already before I get angry.

[MamaMia]

Truthfully, we earn too much for the refund, but we're in such a high tax bracket that we would be better off earning less and would do just that, if our overhead to stay in business wasn't so high. :(

[NormanPride]

We're going to use it to pay off some debt on the car. We have lots of purchases we would like to make, but we're being responsible.

[Scott D]

a trip to Oklahoma if I don't get this potential 7 month assignment from work.

[soonerbrat]

use it to pay my taxes that I owe this year.

[BudSooner]

I like Brats thinking, but i'm leaning towards a new TV....maybe some tools.

[SoonerBorn68]

Here's some info I dug up about it:

http://usgovinfo.about.com/od/incometaxandtheirs/a/rebates2008.htm

[SoonerBorn68]

Oh, and my check will help finance new windows for the house.

...or a .50 caliber rifle. :D

[Whet]

I'm thinking of spending it on 3 French hens, two turtle doves, and a partridge in a pear tree!

[soonermix]

i am sure most of mine will go to cold beers and fast women

[MamaMia]

Here's some info I dug up about it:

http://usgovinfo.about.com/od/incometaxandtheirs/a/rebates2008.htm

All of the rebate amounts would gradually be reduced for individuals with adjusted gross incomes over $75,000 and couples reporting over $150,000 in adjusted gross income.Shouldn't they get more since they paid more? :confused:

[TheHumanAlphabet]

Not holding my breath expecting to see it.

[mdklatt]

Republicans were against government handouts before they were for them.

[SoonerBorn68]

I'd give mine back but the poor would just spend it on beer--come to think of it, I might too. :D

[Curly Bill]

I might donate mine to John McCain just to pizz some peeps on here off. :D

I'm going to buy me some of those live grenades and RPG's at the gunshow like LAS was talkin' about.

From what I heard on the radio this morning it sounds as if this rebate isn't happening. Big surprise. :rolleyes:
