CJINOHIO03 Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 The funny thing they are so stupid and will file rapid refund some where. Then cash the check at a cash advance place. So they just threw a couple hundred out the window. They dont care since its the goverment money anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smokin5s Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 this isn't bad for everyone... my fiance gets it and without it, she wouldn't have been able to support herself.... she was a single mother raising her kid... worked all year.... it's meant to help the people who need it... the problem is, too many people take advantage of the system.

smokin5s Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 I see nothing wrong with helping someone who's trying to help themselves... it's the people who are leeching off of the system and doing nothing to help themselves who i think this needs to stop.

For once we agree on something. It is called make better decisions in life, and don't expect me to pay for your mistakes. This is nothing more than a redistribution of wealth. Communism! Its always easier to pass judgement on someone or a situation when your completely detached from that person. But when its a loved one or a close friend thats going through it, people tend to be a bit more sympathetic. I agree with you I dont totally agree with "the reditribution of wealth" or the idea of it but there are alot of public services that actually do help people in need and this is one of them. Again, its the people who abuse the system that give it a bad rap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty2Hotty Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 Giving back money, doesn't mean more money will be put back into the same system it came from.

smokin5s Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 Better descisions???? Forgive me if I'm wrong, but aren't christian people against abortions? And don't lie to me and tell me that you were a virgin until marriage. So what descisions could she possibly have made better other than choosing a better partner which obviously she has now? They practiced birthcontrol, but as well all are aware (if you aren't read the back of the box) they are not 100% effective. And to make sure that I set the record straight, I have 2 people in my life that are directly effected by this... 1.) A COMPLETE WASTE OF LIFE... never sees her kids, collects SSN, Welfare, and gets all of the tax breaks in the world and just snorts away her money which causes my parents to have to pay for and raise her children. 2.) Someone who has done everything she can to better herself... works 40+ hours a week, now has 2 degrees and has a great little girl who I'm glad to have in my life and family. I agree that the system is flawed, but to give #2 a fighting chance I'm willing to overlook the fact that my tax dollars are going to such a waste of a human being as #1. If you can find a better way to help people who honestly need it and are trying, then please tell your congressman... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Removed Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 I can second that. Single mother 2 kids and going to school. Wheres time for work in that? try working full time, going to school part time and raising to kids.i think working to support the 2 kids would be more important then going to school full time. but go to school then have kids.

I just don't understand why people like you think it is ok to take my money and give it to other people that don't work for it. Here is what I think we should do. I am going to stop working and I am now going to collect 10% of your paycheck. I did not work for this money but I want it. You need to start paying me for not working, otherwise my kids will not get the food and shelter they need. Sounds silly, right? That is basically what the EIC is. I feel bad for women that are single moms. At the same time they have to deal with the situation they have gotten themselves into. It was not me that got them pregnant, or left them with the kids and no support. Why should I have to pay for it? The best motivator in life is food and shelter. No money= No food. That is motivation! Giving people money they did not earn does nothing but enslave them. This is the same reason why my parents did not buy me cars and motorcycles, if I did not earn it I will not respect it. Free these people from the slavery of governmental subsidies!

Tractor Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 Dr Rick speaks the truth. I feel the same way. Not to get off topic, but my wifes doctor told her it would take up to 15 months to get pregnant after quiting birth control and it took 15 months. I can't see how something that powerful can be 99.99% effective except so that they are legally covered for the 0.01% of the time that some dumb bitch is negligent. I suppose drugs or alcohol could lessen its effectiveness, but that would also point to dumb decisions on the part of the dumb bitch. Sounds like we are paying for other peoples laziness/stupidity.

black00ws6 Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 Too bad we don't have the check "yes" or "no" box when we get hired at a place to contribute or not; almost like an organ donor. So those that like to give money away can, and the rest of us can have larger paychecks... Except Dr. Rick, his checks are already large enough.

HAOLE Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 Wow...some of you guys sound like you came straight from Nazi Germany. If you are referring to those who are for the EIC I might be able to make a stretch for that idea. Unless you are talking about the social Darwinism. The Nazi movement was primarily a socialist/anti capitalist movement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jmw_LS2 Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 No, I am refering to the people who are all about the "only the strong survive" bullshit, or the "shoulda made better life decisions" crap. Yeah, because I'm sure that none of you guys ever screwed up or made a bad decision. I'm sure if you were in their position you would want the help too. Oh well, everyone is entitled to their own opinion, so, carry on... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HotCarl Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 birth control affects different women different ways. Couldn't have said it better myself. Evan just because your wife reacted to it they way the majority of case studies said she would does not neccessarily mean thats going to be true for every individual. Condom's arent always 100% effective either. I just don't understand why people like you think it is ok to take my money and give it to other people that don't work for it. Here is what I think we should do. I am going to stop working and I am now going to collect 10% of your paycheck. I did not work for this money but I want it. You need to start paying me for not working, otherwise my kids will not get the food and shelter they need. Sounds silly, right? That is basically what the EIC is Again, on a certain level I agree with you but whats the alternative? EIC helps alot of people who are genuinely in need, unfortunatly it supports people who abuse the system aswell. So I guess we just described every government program ever put in use then right?

Lustalbert Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 Made bad decisions? Oh yes I did. I also took responsibility for those decisions, and became a better person for it. It was not anyone elses responsibility to bail me out for my own error and poor decisions, just the same, it is not my responsibility to bail someone out for thier poor judgment and/or lack of responsibility.

smokin5s Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 jesus christ.... As I understand it, Earned income tax credit does exactly that... gives them a tax credit... pretty much like filing head of house.... do you think you shouldn't get a tax credit for that as well? (Paula is not able to file head of house and file for earned income tax credit) I'm in a higher tax bracket as well and I have to pay taxes for things that I don't agree with.... but I have said it before and I'll say it again, HELPING SOMEONE WHO IS TRYING TO HELP THEMSELVES IS OK, GIVING SOMEONE MONEY BECAUSE THEY ARE LAZY AND DON'T WANT TO WERK IS BAD. Are you guys sure that you aren't confusing earned income tax credit with Welfare or some other form of lazy people getting money? What about Workers Comp? you against that as well?
