Do you think teens should've gotten the economic stimulus check?

Question

i mean the purpose of it is to stimulate the economy and teens already have the most buying power. i think people who are already financially independent did what the government wanted them to do with it but other people just paid off debts or bought gas or groceries.

Answer 1

No. Some adult citizens who really needed the checks didn't even get them. The government was very unorganized on this project and did not give the public enough information. I doubt the government has the money to give out money to adults let alone kids. The economy is going under because money is being absorbed into a war most americans (even those serving) don't even want.

Answer 2

If teens worked and paid taxes, then they were eligible for the economic stimulus check unless they were claimed as dependents on their parents' tax returns.

Answer 3

NO teens should not get the stimulus package as they are not taxpayers and their parents or guardians reap the benefit of claiming them as a dependent on their tax form.....it would be called DOUBLE DIPPING.

Answer 4

If that teen payed taxes then yes.

if the teen didn't pay taxes, then no they shouldn't get a check.

but I do see your point about the fact that teens would spend the money.  

of course giving that most peple bought things like grocieries, gas and paid of debt the also spent it on stuff, and helped boost the economy a bit (so the way things turned out the check did what they where ment to do)

Answer 5

Um YES. We worked too and there's absolutely no reason we shouldn't have gotten reimbursed for it when EVERYONE else did, or at least my parents should've. But since I'm 17 I didn't get **** and neither did my mom and dad. Extremely unfair.

Answer 6

I agree we worked our butts off just like everyone else...we deserved to spent our earnings. I hated that they put a limit on how much you have to earn to get one.
