Did you get your check yet?

Are you planning on spending it or saving it?

Finally, were you pleased with the tax cut or would you rather of had the government kept the money.

My response:

I got my check and I am planning on spending it on a new DVD player. Any suggestions on a good model?

Also, I prefer to see my money spent as I see fit not as someone else does. I see a need for a government, but I also see massive waste in terms of government spening. They increase spending every year at levels that far exceed what the average American receives in pay raises on a yearly basis. So where is all this money coming from to support the increases in spending...our paychecks through new taxes. If on average an American worker only sees a 2-3% increase in wages on a yearly basis then why should the goverment be permitted to increase spending at rates often double, triple and quadruple the amount we can? It is not fair or acting in a responsible manner.

We all work hard for our money and I think taxes in general are too high. It would be nice for once to see the government cut spending. All of us in our life have had to do that at one point or another...how about the government as well.
