    Since everyone (?) is so happy about the money that
    the fed is about to hand back to us, perhaps it's time
    to spread it around a bit.

    After all, the amount of goods and services hasn't
    changed. There will simply be more dollars chasing
    them. The actual good part is that the money will be
    spend by private individuals instead of the fed.
    That's nice. The bad part is that, like all transfer
    payments, some people will get back a much higher
    percentage of what was forcibly stolen from them to
    begin with than others.

    As a working single person without dependent children,
    I will get $300, I understand, while the slovenly
    breeders across the street, whose kids graduate
    straight into the local gangs from 8th grade will get
    $400 per cretin to spend on more booze, louder booms
    for their cars, etc.

    I can beat that, however. All I have to do is marry
    someone with a whole passel of kids. I'm sure that
    there are any number of mothers in Africa who would be
    so very happy for me to marry them, and I'll split the
    tax savings down the middle with them, which will mean
    $100~$200 or so per year per child going to them,
    which would be a major windfall in many areas of
    Africa, easilly enough to make the difference between
    living and dying. They can stay in Africa, as I can't
    afford to bring them all here - even with the standard
    deductions, etc. I will save money - they will make
    money - and the fed will be screwed.

    Oh happy day!

    Anybody know the rules on how many wives you can have
    if your marriage is entirely outside the U.S. jurisdiction?
