Economic Stimulus Welfare!

I just received a notice from the IRS regarding the economic stimulus plan. The good news is according to the IRS, I have to do nothing to receive my money aside from filing my tax return. The bad news is that very few people I know in New Jersey qualify. You see, they explain that if you are a "higher income" person (that is someone making 75k single or 150k married), you get phased out. Of course, that would include a State Trooper(You're out!)especially if you are married to a teacher (double out!).

However, if you made more than $3,000 dollars last year you get $300.00. Why did I get this from the IRS? It should have come from the Social Security Admin or State Welfare agency.
