Ok I was thinking of getting a few of thou's government loans that you don't have to pay back to start my own business. I know of a few places that would give me the money to start this.

I'd like to know would you guys take the money to start your own business or would you just do it the old fashion way?

That was your money in the first place dude.

Do you want to know if you should take it back?


Let me see[:\]...........YES!

If you pay taxes, might as well.

Wouldn't a loan you don't have to pay back be called a grant?  Might be some credit problems in the future if it's not paid.  Just a thought.

If the dollars are appropriated, the Gov't feels like you would be repaying the loan in the taxes you would generate for them.

Therefore, you are already repaying the loan, by staying in business... and appropriated dollars are going to go somewhere, why not you?

I'm not one for welfare or handouts (not yet) but I will take some help when I need it.

From what I found out you don't have to pay any of the money back.

They do this so that there are more job's for people to have and this makes the guy in the white house look good the next time reelections comes up.

I don't know what one I should go with a buffalo farm or a knife making shop. The buffalo farm you get a hell of a lot of money do to your raising and "exotic" animals that was on the endangered species list (There dame good eating to.)But I also love making knives or maybe I'll open up my own gun shop. Don't know.

That sound good to me!!!! I really don't know what I want to do yet and I may have to be 25 before I'm able to get this money anyway. Do to they don't like giving young people money that don't have life experience yet. It's only 3 more years for me anyway.

Imbrog|io owns this particular example.

Poor Imbro.  What happened to him, haven't heard from him in a while.  At least now we know where he goes to take off his tin-foil hat.  [:)]

No government ever gave anything to anybody without first taking it away from the man who earned it.

Take the money.

Heck yes!  Take your money back before some POS elected official spends it.

When you get the $$$$$, PLEASE provide detailed instructions on how you did it!

DO NOT TAKE THE MONEY.

It will encourage the government to take more to replace it.

"No strings attached?"

How about the fact that they took it from all of us at gunpoint so that they could have money to now give you?

That's not a string, it's a rope.

"IF a robber..."

I'd get the prick, not be "satisfied" he didn't take it all.
