Who would be there to give your hamburgers at the drive through if everyone was as well off financially as you? You think fast food workers make enough money to pay $10,000 in taxes? They're lucky if that make that or over in 1 year! Not everybody that is poor are "lazy" not working for living people. It's called an earned income tax credit, usually people with kids making less then 38,000 a year get that. Think about that next time you tip your waitress for serving YOU food at 2 bucks an hour!
You talking about the waitress that made over $100 in tips last Friday night, yet reported only $10 of it to the IRS so she could still qualify for the earned income tax credit at the end of the year? Yep... I really feel for her.

I have no problem with the people that are out there working and still qualify for the credit. The ones that irk me are the ones that stop working when they have made the "right" amount to get the most EIC, instead of working the rest of the year. Then they complain that only the "rich" are getting the full $600. Give me a break!!

doesnt it just suck that when a kid turns 18 the parents have to loose those tax dollars? just the cost of graduation (cap, gown, senior pics, and so on) is a financial burden that most good parent are proud to pay as part of their parental responcibility. Why is he still home at 18 causeing you so much grief. Maybe he should join the service and go do something for his country or getting a JOB instead of staying home like a little bum sucking momma's pocket book dry. If your mad over something like not getting $300 of our money just because he turned 18. maybe you need to get some anger management class to help you with your mental disability. Shame on you!!!
You are being very inconsiderate to many people jerk! Maybe their 18 year old is still in high school or smarter than joining the military and is going to college to get a career that will last longer than 4 years!!! When you have children you ALWAYS need and extra $300!!! So yeah I would be a little mad.

<quoted text> Because i use nothing but cash. I dont deal with any banks no plastic, never ask for credit. I never ask how much does it cost, because if i have to ask that. then i either dont need it or cant afford it. strickly cash. No checks. I am retired. I dont work. Ive been retired since 1985. no income, no tax. the only tax i pay is my yearly property tax and with the grand fathered homestead act, that is about $3.75 a year. Perfectly legal.
Although you still have to pay sales tax, so the government is still getting theirs. I hate sales tax, they tax you when you make the money and when you spend it :(

I got mine today direct deposit! Filed Turbo Tax and paid the fees with my credit card, thank God, I didn't know at the time that was the best thing to do, I didn't have to wait for a check like some people will have to do that had the fee taken out of their refund. Waiting til July would have been no fun!
