The 2010 Tax Stimulus Rebate Attributes and Data

In 2010, we could get a tax rebate that rivals the amount everyone got in last year's rebate, which is fortunate news for everyone. With a new president in Washington and the financial crisis leaving many people poor, it reflects well on the new president to help out the common man and give him some help.

In the fall, you will be able to experience a new tax stimulus plan that will assist taxpayers. The total amount returned to taxpayers could be around $800 for each person, which can add up to around $150 billion or more. Since the 2009 stimulus wasn't really enough to get the economy started again, sources say that next year's rebate will help. It can be utilized to purchase gas or even merely save for an emergency. The IRS didn't do so great the last time they distributed stimulus checks, as many people didn't even get theirs due to computing errors.

Making another tax rebate looks dubious to some. With the skyrocketing cost of living, it's fully possible that Americans won't use it to stimulate the economy, but instead just save it and squander it. We've had a ton of people concerned about the advantages of an additional tax rebate. With the debt being as high as it is already, there are many concerns that we just don't have the money to bail out everyone; however, it's entirely possible that the tax rebates could come out of the banking bailout that is occurring.

President Obama, when he was campaigning, put forth a plan for tax rebates supplying every American citizen with $1000 that would be used for consumer spending and supplying the money they need to live. Oil companies may be more strictly taxed, supplying the rebate income. Now that he is president, Obama needs to put forth this plan and get it approved, so that the American economy can get the assistance it needs to survive; it's a critical time for this nation, and a plan like this could help.

One major frustration that Americans feel is paying for others' financial problems with their tax dollars, making them oppose tax rebates. What they have to be concerned about is all of the extreme military spending and financial bailouts to downed companies. No matter our national debt, we need to pay it off sometime, whether we're prepared or not. We might not be up for the task when the time comes. Our economy is in trouble, and has to be rescued before the damage gets too far, directly affecting people's livelihoods. A tax rebate may just be the program that gets us on the right path. - 31393
