Guest guest Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 You should be ashamed that you don't respect the needs of poor people who have to rely on governmental assistance because without that help they would starve of become homeless. If you don't want to help out the needy that is your choice as unethical as it is. But don't you dare tell anyone that they shouldn't be on governmental assistance because they need to get a job or go to school. That is condescending, Steve because it is not that simple. In your secluded life you don't get the concept that there are 1000's of people who live on the brink and struggle everyday to provide for themselves and/or their families. So, if they can get WIC or welfare or food stamps to survive one more day that is perfectly OK. Since you don't support a living wage, then how are these people supposed to get off governmental assistance if they can't make decent wages. I wonder how long you would last living on minimum wage, [ not a living wage} working in a job where there is no chance of advancement, eeking out a minimal existence living on the brink trying to provide for your family? A day? A week? A month? Why don't you give it a try, Steve and then report back and tell us how you do. -- Re: Cows, Geopolitics, and Big Business Re: Re: > Thy > > > > > > > Nancie Barnett wrote: >> I work with the homeless and it is criminal that we >> as a wealthy society don't do anything to get them off the streets. > > Criminal is when one breaks the law, not when someone does something you > don't agree with.

In a well run society, people look out for their neighbors and help them when they need it. That is not communism. You need to take a class in college. But, I see you don't care about less fortunate people. Nice. -- Re: Cows, Geopolitics, and Big Business Re: Re: Thy Nancie, who is to say who needs what. This is not a communist where each is entitled according to his need. If you wish to be entitled according to your need and taxed according to your ability, you are in the wrong country. In a free society, each person is entitled to the fruits of his labor. The more that is infringed, the less free the entire society. You are not entitled to the fruits of my labor no matter how much money I make from that labor. With limited government - government performing only the functions reserved to it in the US Constitution - freedom is maximized. The more the central government strays off into areas not reserved to it in the Constitution, the less free we all become. Who's wisdom is it that says any free American should pay a higher tax RATE than any other free American? If I have to pay a 50% rate on the fruits of my labor and you have to pay a 10% rate, my freedom is being limited in favor of enhancing your freedom. That doesn't cut it under the concept of equal treatment. Could you please explain what you mean by a " greedy ruthless administration " ? Exactly, how was the administration greedy and ruthless?

Guest guest Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 Of course there is something to debate , Val but what is the point with your narrow conservative view of life that has no empathy for needy people. Bush did nothing to help out the country, he created an unneeded war where over 4,000 young men and women have died and over 1 million Iraqi's have died. Nice. Teenage's can't get work not because the minimum wage has been increased, but BECAUSE Bushie's administration created a economic crisis in this country where the situation is so bad, that people are losing their jobs and the employers who are still hiring want people with work experience and teenagers usually don't have work experience, val. I hope your family never gets jobs that are not living wages. But, I think you should be required to work in a job that is not a living wage and see how well you fare on a income that has not kept up with inflation.

Everyone will make mistakes be no own has the IQ to do it perfectly and the tax code is so complex that doing it " right " for one part of the code may be " wrong " for another part. In 2006 by the way, if you went to the US Government Printing Office (www.gpo.gov), you could have ordered a complete set of Title 26 of the US Code of Federal Regulations (that's the part written by the IRS), all twenty volumes of it, at the bargain price of $974, shipping included. According to the US Government Printing Office, it was 13,458 pages in total. The full text of Title 26 of the United States Code (the part written by Congress-- was available for an additional $179) is a mere 3,387 printed pages, bringing the adjusted gross page count to 16,845. For those religiously inclined who have never read the Bible, it has about 1,200 or so pages depending on one's translation and it's a lot less boring than the US tax code. So, if you purchased your " cheap " copy of the US tax code in 2006 for $974+$179 or $1153 and read it cover to cover to make sure you were doing everything legal and assuming there are no gray areas, then you had as much of a chance of doing everything right, getting all your deductions, and declaring all your income as a snowball has a chance of surviving in hell. I think we need an amendment to the US constitution making an effective change to the sixteenth amendment to make it so that most Americans (average American IQ is 98) can understand and fill out their taxes for their personal income and their small business. It should be simple and not require a team of tax accountants and CPAs to comprehensively do your taxes correctly. The tax code should be, say, less that a dozen pages. I doubt that any tax account has read the tax code cover to cover, let alone understands it. The average American can do their very best to do their taxes and the IRS can still make their lives a living hell. And if you want to get a copy of the tax code today, check out the new prices: http://bookstore.gpo.gov/baskets/cfr-listing.jsp -- Steve - dudescholar4@...

See below... .. .. > > Posted by: " Nancie Barnett " deifspirit@... > <mailto:deifspirit@...?Subject=%20Re%3A%20Cows%2C%20Geopolitics%2C%20and%20B\ ig%20Business%20Re%3A%20%5Bhypothyroidism%5D%20Re%3A%20Thy> > aspenfairy1 <aspenfairy1> > > > Wed Apr 8, 2009 12:18 am (PDT) > > > > Steve- > Like I said you are out of touch and sound extremely republican and short > sighted. The concept of a living wage is not a Kooky idea at all. In fact > cities and local and state governments have struggled with that > concept for > years. .. .. It's really none of the government's business what wages are in a free market system. The employee in such a system tries to get 10 times what he is worth and the employer tries to pay 1/10 what he is worth. Once a qualified employee is willing to do the work for the offered salary to pay more is to pay too much. That is the optimal system; whether the salary is 10 cents per hour or $100,000. Any government interference will ultimately provide a worse outcome. That's not really a short sighted view, as the short term effects of moving rapidly in that direction would be painful. It's in the long term that it would really shine. .. .. > It is a FACT that inflation and the cost of living has outpaced .. .. If you have the slightest concern about massive inflation you should run screaming from Obama's and the democrats injection of trillions of dollars into the economy. How can it possibly NOT cause massive inflation; much worse than we've ever seen? The wealthy will have high priced lawyers and accountants to alleviate their contribution to repaying these vast sums; it's the working stiff who will take it in the shorts for generations. Which means they will have even less after taxes to support a family. As a matter of fact it may just be the final nail in the coffin of the United States. .. .. > sustainable wages aka a living wage that allow people to provide a decent > life for their themselves and their families. Everything costs more and > people have to choose what to pay for, their food or rent/mortgage or > health > care or utilities or gas, etc. It is moral and ethical for this society to > make sure that all people living here have the capacity to have a decent > life. .. .. You can set it as a moral or ethical requirement if you want; but that's not what you're doing. You're setting it as a LEGAL requirement; which is stealing from the productive to support the unproductive. The sole imperative for the government WRT someone's " decent life " is to insure " life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness " to whatever extent possible and reasonable. No where in the constitution or in any of the founding papers of our country is there any requirement whatsoever that the government provide food, shelter, clothing or anything else of a consumer nature. Rather that imperative is laid upon the charities by our cultural heritage for those unable to provide for themselves; and to the individual/parent in all other cases. To transfer it to the responsibility of the government is a really dumb liberal idea without foundation in the origins of our country. .. .. > I for one care about everyone having a chance to have a better life > and to have decent wages and to not struggle everyday of their lives > just to > provide for their families. .. .. The very best way to do that is to get the government totally out of the business of being the nanny state and allow the free market system to function. We would not presently be pouring trillions of dollars into the coffers of failed businesses [banks, mortgage companies, AIG & etc.] if we heeded that simple idea.

Guest guest Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 Please use Google. There are two date. The magic numbers are 3 years and 10 years. You figure out what applies to what instead of spouting off again and again. My point was that you made up sh*t by saying: " Plus, there is no statue of limitations for the IRS, they can go after as many ears as they want. " Do you care that you are making up sh*t?

Wonder away. The biggest mistake that the IRS ever found in my tax returns were an overpayment (which they refunded) and an accidental swap between two SS numbers which had no effect on taxes. I tend to try to stay away from gray areas and I'd rather have the IRS have to pay me every time they audit until it just gets old. > Since they are extending the time frame to more than 10 years, since there Really.

Guest guest Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 I have a tax rebate check for $893 that I haven't bother to deposit yet. It was the second one I received. The first one was cut by $893 bucks because I transposed two of my children's SS numbers in the past and it carried on as I used old tax returns to get general information for new tax returns. I corrected the SS number to the right one and the IRS sent me the rest of the rebate check PLUS interest. The first one was already deposited. I had to decrease my deductions by over $10,000 as not claiming them to created about $50 in taxes owed was required to triggered the tax rebate. My accountant wasn't sure what the trigger points were with the IRS but one is not required by law to declare all their deductions. So, my net gain was $1200 minus the $50 bucks in federal taxes I had to generate plus the interest the IRS paid me. If one has a high enough income and then doesn't have to pay taxes, there was no rebate. Paying $50 to get $1200 is always a good move. The law does not require one to use all their deductions or any of them for that matter. The two rebate checks added up to more that 1200 since the second one was delayed and the IRS paid interest on that one. Cool. However, Then I get this income statement on the interest from the IRS to file this year as part of my income for 2008. No complaints.
