2) Small businesses (under $500k revenue) (if after 3 months), you prove revenue losses, you get a monthly check of some value for up to 6 months...
Thats it... it would have been fair... everyone else could go and f themselves.

Except the point was to provide funds upfront in an attempt to avoid layoffs. Small business that lose 75%+ of their revenue over 3 months will be gone and so will all their employees by the time they need to prove revenue losses. Then it would take a long time (months??) for someone to validate the revenue losses and issue funds. At that point, it's just pissing away money to start distributing it to businesses with no employees that already failed. Yeah, that's an options but not the option that was enacted.
Also, limiting it to businesses under $500K in revenue would leave out an awful lot of businesses, including most franchisees, most restaurants, hardware stores, dental offices, and on and on. |
Look there is no good answer here... layoffs will happen no matter what... the proposal I provided is meant to help those that need it most.... distributing money immediately is a perfect way to get the shaft as there is limited proof of anything. What if someone gets laid off 1 month after the sitmulus because everyone already took the money and ran? Well then you just shafted a lot of people that deserve the money. As far as a 500k revenue cap, there has to be a cap somewhere... otherwise again; the swindlers will come out. We will look at all of this in 5 years as a major fail across the board.
