That's not true. Maybe you're thinking of something else...but I'm thinking of a few years ago when checks were sent to everyone in the country. I don't even remember the amount now, it was something small like $50 or $500.

But they sent them to EVERYONE. And there was a huge debate amongst pundits all over the cable new networks about why people who paid no tax were somehow getting a "refund". Keep in mind this wasn't a "normal" yearly refund were most Americans get a refund. This was a one time special political stunt.
