Only 5%? Mine is approaching 30% and I can't afford shit.

Also sending out checks is fucking stupid. Just lower our taxes.

It's 5% of wealth, not income. But still, anything short of 100% will not stop the parasites. But its a nice gesture, if nothing else

Not particularly. 5% is nothing to them.
