Got a question? I would like to try to receive some funds. I have a merchant service company where only I am the employee. I basically get paid on the businesses processing credit cards. Well I have taken a hit because businesses arent processing and I can’t or at least dont feel comfortable going out and selling so I am in a pickle. I couldnt get any money because I feel it is basically a lottery. I dont understand it either. I am a business effected by this lovely virus and I cant get any funds. Not asking for a handout, but I am asking for assistance. This is for for business and not a freaking Lamborghini like the guy in Miami. I just feel I am NO different then any other business. I am incorporated & not a Sole Prop, whether that matters or not I have absolutely NO idea. I understand everyone is in a pickle right now, but I need some assistance. Dont just give big corporations money, because I dont think its fair. But whatever, sorry for all the “Donts” in this message. SO HOW DO I APPLY??????

I’m retired, but I’m concerned that the help appears to be just for people who lost their jobs due to Covid 19. What about all the others who may have lost their jobs prior to the virus and have had little hope of finding another job in this economic downturn? Their unemployment benefits may have expired at this point.

@Tom—Read the comment from Cindy Lou again. I see nowhere where she mentions bailing out what you say. She is mentioning experimental programs in a few countries that are are sort of like an enhanced Welfare program of guaranteed income. These are smaller countries whose government ability to do this is much different than ours. Most have income tax rates on workers like you, of 40% or more. Would you like that? I think not. I believe ours is in the 18% range. We can’t afford to do it like they might be able to pull it off, & their success rate is still pending from what I have read. Yes, taxpayers like you deserve help, & Trump today signed today for doing just that help, unless held up in courts by Democrats. Are you aware that Nancy P. wants to give money to illegals & have open borders, with money that should go to people like you? She wants to spend 3.4 Trillion dollars. On big Republican spending bills in the past, the Democrat mantra has always been, How are you going to pay for it.Well Nancy, how are you going to pay for it? Republicans do want to help, but not break the bank in doing so. By the way, I am not Democrat or Republican, but a Conservative, who agrees that you do deserve what you are asking for.

What about the homeowners renting their property that have forgiven rent and will not add any late fees because we know the tenants cannot pay?? I’m retired so no I wasn’t working March 1st but I still have to pay mortgage on the home

Look I pay state local and federal taxes, please do not tell me my government should not be helping me during a pandemic and the near depression we currently find ourselves in. Cindy Lou pointed out a clear fact instead of bailing out all these mega multi national corporations they (all of our Allies) are using monies to stimulate there economies via checks to the unemployed and underemployed which is spent quickly and helps big business that way. Save when times are good spend spend when the economy starts to tumble. This is basic economics

What about landlords? We pay mortgage, house insurance and not receiving rent payments puts us in a bind also. How is it fair for the governor to decide for US and continually put us into debt on top of destroyed property? Can landlords be sent rental checks and difference sent to tenants? Some ppl will do what’s right but many look at it as free money to do whatever because executive order from governor to freeze evictions.

Love when people are quick to tell others what they should be doing in their own household but yet don’t want the government in theirs. Some people may not he able to get childcare at this point. Or maybe they don’t believe like others. Yet bring on the judges. Such wonderful Christian folks and yet by the comments bible reading Christians you’re not otherwise you would not be judging.
