They are going to get killed on tax day, especially those who were taking in $1000 a week. They had a base $400 unemployment plus $600 extra and that’s PER WEEK for 26 weeks or $26,000 total. In communist states like New York, Assachussets, Cali, they are going to be obliterated with a tax bill and jobs are going to be hard to find because everyone is rushing back to work unless they extend this ridiculous $600 a week. This summer was a nightmare for me and my company, we are involved in transporting farm goods. Last year we had 9 drivers, this year we could only hire two because nobody wanted to work

Good. They are the ones who pushed for confiscatory taxes

And there is also a segment of the populace that, for whatever circumstance, works very little but counts on the windfall from the Earned Income Tax Credit once a year. I know of a few people like this. The $600 per week must have been like hitting the lottery.

I wonder if they will feel that way at tax time, when that EITC goes bye-bye and they may even have to pay in. Welcome to my world!
