Stimulus should be progressive if we have progressive taxes

Precisely. Since stimulus checks are paid from the existing pool of tax revenue, they are essentially refunds and should be delivered in proportion to the underlying progressive tax structure. So, pick a percentage: maybe 10%. A family that paid $50,000 in 2019 taxes receives a $5,000 stimulus check. A family that paid $10,000 in 2019 taxes receives $1,000. No lower or upper limits. Basically giving everyone a retroactive discount on previous taxes paid.

So you suggest billionaire like Warren Buffet should receive millions in stimulus? That’s such an absurd idea…

Absolutely! The dude pays millions in taxes. He deserves a massive stimulus check.

Seriously. The entitlement and f-ed up priorities are astounding.

Do they have savings for college funds or a special needs trust for kids if they are unlikely to live independently as adults?
Do they have retirement savings?
Do they have an emergency fund if the furnace breaks or a car is totaled?

They may have the same things on the surface, in the moment - but you don’t know what’s under the surface. It’s possible you are treading water comfortably with the wiggle room to adjust to rising prices or minor setbacks. It’s possible they are paddling like mad and figuring out what they can cut back on to pay for groceries and gasoline.
