"Poll finds frugal plans for refunds; Majority will use funds to pay bills" by Stephen Ohlemacher, Associated Press | April 14, 2009
WASHINGTON - Hopes for an economic boost fueled by this year's tax refunds could be dashed as most people say they plan to be frugal with their annual windfalls.
Yeah, them GIVING YOUR OWN MONEY BACK TO YOU after THEY HELD IT FOR a YEAR is a WINDFALL for you, 'murkn!
The SHIT PROPAGANDA and BIASED AGENDA-PUSHING is DISGUSTING!!!
In previous years, tax refunds have helped increase retail sales in March, April, and May by 12 percent to 20 percent over sales in February, Internal Revenue Service Commissioner Doug Shulman said yesterday. "The tax filing season is its own stimulus to the economy," Shulman said in a speech at the National Press Club.
Pfffffttt!
"It helps kick off the spring shopping season and can help kick start the economy."
You know what else would help?
GETTING RID OF the ILLEGAL SEIZURE of PEOPLE'S WAGES!!!
Watch: America: Freedom to Fascism
Thirty-eight percent of those receiving a refund said they intend to spend at least part of it, according to an Associated Press-GfK poll released yesterday. But the spending appears to be mostly on basic needs: 17 percent said they would use the money for everyday needs such as food and clothing, up from 7 percent a year ago.
The survey found that 54 percent of those receiving refunds said they planned to pay off credit card, utility, housing, and other bills. That compares with 35 percent who said the same thing a year ago. Only 5 percent, about the same as a year ago, said they planned to go on a shopping spree. The deadline for individuals to file their 2008 tax returns is tomorrow....
They are sure to remind you of that!
The poll found that 35 percent of those receiving refunds plan to save or invest at least part of the money, a slight increase from a year ago. About 37 percent said they planned to use their refunds to pay down debt, including credit cards and student and personal loans.
Haven't the banks and financiers been bailed out enough?
--more--"
WhereTF is YOUR BAILOUT, 'murka?
