My Very Informal "Tax Rebate" Survey of CoWorkers
So I've been asking a number of people on one of the features that I'm working on if they're going to get a "tax rebate", and if so, what will they do with the money. Conversely, if they won't get a "tax rebate", but if they did what would they do with the money.
I work with production office people who make OK money, and crew members who make $125K to $250K/year. I also work around Producers who make a million or more a year and actors who make millions, I didn't take to any of these.
In general here is what I found.
Those who will get a "rebate" most will pay of cc debt and/or put it in the bank.
Those who won't get one were kind of split, some will also pay of debt or put it in the bank. BUT a lot said they'd probably buy that big flat screen and/or a blue ray player. Remember, I work in the entertainment industry.
My limited very informal survey suggests to me that the Feds should have actually given the "rebates" back to those who actually paid the most taxes and won't be getting a rebate. They are the ones most able to actually spend the money and help the economy.
Your mileage may vary.
