Receiving a stimulus check 5 weeks into a pandemic is nothing to celebrate. It is something you should actually be pissed off about.

What I am pissed off about is the fact that people like me are actually (allegedly) getting a check.  A "free" government handout should go to people that really need it.  You know, the barber or hair stylist that can't run their business, the bartender, waiter/waitress and bus-people that work in restaurants, people who are "gig workers" such as entertainers, etc.

I have lost exactly 0 of my normal wages during this whole thing and don't need any "help" from the government.  I personally have already selected a few people that I know that I'm donating my "free" money from the government to.

Now if they really want to help those of us that have been and are still working during this crisis, I'm all for the payroll tax relief.  In my opinion the government already confiscates way too much of my earnings.  Despite what they already took from me out of my earnings, I still have to write a $3,000.00 check to the IRS.

I would be more pissed off seeing people that actually pay no income tax [BLEEP] about how long it takes for them to get their "stimulus" money.
