This would prevent more layoffs. Ok put down the crack pipe, the booze or the pills and take a break for a while, you are making less sense than usual.

It is the best idea yet, but no one would get that 1200 dollar pay day. Oh no. It amazes me the ballers here that are always thinking about those people who won't be effected, yet they really are worried about that 1200 dollars.

No, it's the dumbest idea yet, it would do nothing to help the immediate problem, and we have an immediate problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would only allow businesses to keep more of their money and in turn lay off less people. Wait, you would rather add $13,000+ to every taxpayer's bill in the US for that 1200 dollar baller check. The idea is the only correct way to fix the issue, reduce fraud and stop big corp and businesses from getting another bailout. Something everyone seems to be against, but can't figure out how to stop it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you aren't working because your company is shut down they are not paying you and they are not paying taxes because they have no taxable income.

Everyone I know is either working from home or actually going in. All the restaurants and bars have curbside pickup. Can you just name one business that you know of that is closed. Grocery stores are actually HIRING right now. Edited March 27, 2020 by racer254 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I used to collect over the winter I never had them taken out. And your original post made it sound like you wanted to give them no tax instead of no UI.

Yes Hamlin motor sports, every restaurant is curbside only, if still open no waitresses working or at best 1 or 2, the bicycle shop, the three coffee houses, jewelers , antique shops, furniture stores, clothing stores, and gift shops, to name a few.

And those workers are most likely signing up for UI. And when they do go back to work, they could be getting more on their paycheck and the businesses will have more as well if they didn't have to pay fed taxes. It's a great concept and wouldn't require a bailout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
