Unfortunately this is limited to the US fretters. I just finished reading a little more about the suggested tax rebate. If it goes as proposed it will be approximately $800 for a single person and $1600 if you are married.

Okay, leave all political comments out of this.

If this goes through, anyone planning on a new guitar, amp, more pedals...?

Mine will probably go towards next semesters college tuition for my son. Tempting to skim a little off the top, but must maintain will power to do the right thing.

I haven't seen the details and nothing has been passed anyway, but March 1 (a proposed date for this to go into effect) would coincide almost perfectly with me paying off our van. An amount like that could completely eliminate all the debt I currently have. Then yes, there would be some frivolous spending, but it might be on a laptop rather than a guitar. Although there is this bit about those pickups I've been rambling on about. I won't mention that, though, so Robert won't sob uncontrollably.

Great, that means I'll only owe the IRS $23,400 instead of $25,000.:reallymad:

Gee, if my Tacoma DR55 is still sitting on her *** on consignment at my GAS Station in March waiting for someone to buy her, maybe I could be that someone :thwap:

Dunno, though. I stopped in there today and someone from Tennessee is negotiating on it.

Oh, well. I'll just have to pass...:cry:

I am always looking for another source to pay for my gas attacks.

I would likely roll it over to the next years taxes if it passed.

I didn't say what gender the strippers would be now did I?;) Either way I think it is a good way to spend my tax rebate. Much better than some silly old guitar. Besides, who needs guitars anyway? :rotflmao:

I'm sure it'll just go to pay off bills.

Wouldn't mind having some repairs done though.
