Very nice! What do you recommend for a camcorder that has digital still capability? I know absolutely nothing about cameras.

not trying to rain on your parade Buster. I just find this whole "conservative" administration a big joke. Democrats aren't any better but at least they are "pay as you go" even if it is tax and spend. We need a new system. Two party system is broken.For a while there I was feeling pretty gratified..now I don't know

Motto of this "conservative" administration: "spend like there's no tomorrow...and encourage everyone else to do the same."
When did the government start encouraging SPENDING instead of SAVING?
Instant gratification. Bleh. Get yours now and let tomorrow take care of itself.

The federal government is sending each and everyone of us a $600 rebate.
If we spend that money at Wal-Mart, the money will go to China.
If we spend it on gasoline it will go to the Arabs.
If we purchase a computer it will go to India.
If we purchase fruit and vegetables it will go to Mexico, Honduras, and
Guatemala.
If we purchase a good car it will go to Japan.
If we purchase useless crap it will go to Taiwan ... and none of it will
help the American economy.
The only way to keep that money here at home is to buy prostitutes,
weed, beer, cigarettes, whiskey, and tattoos, since these are the only
products still produced in the USA.
Thank you for your help & please support the U.S.

It IS taxable by the states. Each state can decide whether to tax it or not. Alabama IS taxing it. New York is NOT taxing it. Most of the states haven't decided yet. Don't believe everything your taxman tells you. Read more here.

Living in New Jersey, The blood sucking leeches always find a way to tax
your money. The document I saw (daughter-in-laws) made no mention of
how the money would be handled by State Tax Authorities.

If I remember correctly we got one of these a few years ago. I can't find my records right now but I THINK it was taxable as income by the STATE - because it's not a refund of overpaid federal withholding, or a tax credit, the state viewed it as INCOME. Not taxed by the FED though..The document that will come in the mail will reaffirm the answer I'm
about to give. THE MONEY YOU RECEIVE WILL NOT BE TAXABLE AS
INCOME, for 2008 tax purposes. Even with direct deposit, you'll still
get this little document in the mail, which explains the same.

How to use the rebate
As you may have heard the Bush Administration said each and every one
of us would now get a nice rebate.
If we spend that money at Wal-Mart, all the money will go to China.
If we spend it on gasoline it will all go to the Arabs.
If we purchase a computer it will all go to India, or Taiwan.
If we purchase fruit and vegetables it will all go to Mexico, Honduras, and Guatamala.
If we purchase a good car it will all go to Japan and Mexico.
If we purchase useless crap it will all go to Taiwan and none of it will help the American economy.
Now, it's clear that we need to keep that money here in America. That's what the money was intended for- for the everyday American, to help stimulate the American economy.
So it's clear. There is only ONE WAY that the "Stimus rebate" check is going to help our economy.
The only way is to keep that money here at home.
And the only way to do that is...buy hookers and beer, since those
are the only businesses still in the US.

I (and many others here) will take our check and pay $4.00 / gal for gas, which in turn goes back to the Oil Barons and the OPEC nations.
What THEY do with it is beyond me, however, I suspect they'll have more money to influence our Congress and have more tax breaks headed their way. :blink:

That's what I thought a couple of months ago. Now, I might need it just to pay gasoline expense for our trip to North Carolina in June.
