(Washington D.C. May 18, 2009)(Exclusive to eGrumps)
The current stimulus plan is not working. Unemployment figures are rising. The problem – the consummer does not have enough disposable income to buy goods and stimulate the economy.
But – a precedent has been set, and I guarantee the “eGrumps Stimulus Plan” will work. The current Secretary of the Treasury did not pay the proper amount of taxes and the IRS allowed him to pay late, charging interest, but not penalties.
So – The eGrumps Stimulus Plan – allow all taxpayers the right to defer payment of income taxes on the same amount of income that Secretary of the Treasury deferred for the same amount of time. It must be repaid at the end of the Geitner deferral period, without penalty, but with interest, the same courtesy as was granted to Secretary Geitner.
For example, assuming the Secretary of the Treasury was allowed to defer payment of $35,000 of taxes, for an average of three years, then paying the taxes and paying interest (but no penalties) the same should be granted to all taxpaying citizens, if they so elect.
Would that not be a great stimulus to the economy, and the precedent has been set to accomodate the Secretary of the Treasury, who oversees the IRS. If it was good enough for him, why isn’t it good enough for the rest of us poor folk. It’s not mandatory, but if any of you want to defer paying income taxes, should you not have the same benefit that Secretary Geitner was given, and if not – why not?
Consider the basic fairness of the eGrumps Stimulus Plan, and think of the money that would flow into the economy. Prosperity – here we come!!!
