WOW,,,, !

Not New.

Here is some more, ‘frosting’ for your cake!

“ … Some Democrats are already defending these child tax credit payments that have gone to those without a valid Social Security number, accusing Republicans who want to end them of a heartless attack on children.
Several different versions of this viral email all cite a recent investigative story by an Indianapolis television station, but WTHR-TV is far from the first to notice. The Washington Post and others reported on this last year when the Treasury Department’s inspector general for tax administration issued a report on July 7, 2011.

The title of the report summed up the IG’s finding: “Individuals Who Are Not Authorized to Work in the United States Were Paid $4.2 Billion in Refundable Credits.”

The credits currently amount to $1,000 per child, and they are “refundable,” meaning that parents may receive refunds even when they do not owe any tax.

The IG report stated that more than 2.3 million persons who did not have Social Security numbers valid of working in the U.S. got an average of roughly $1,800 each in 2010 in child tax credit refunds. That included 9,000 illegal immigrants who each got a total of $10,000 or more by retroactively claiming credits for tax years prior to 2010. …”

And:

“ … The Internal Revenue Service says everyone who is employed in the United States – even those who are working here illegally – must report income and pay taxes. Of course, undocumented workers are not supposed to have a social security number. So for them to pay taxes, the IRS created what’s called an ITIN, an individual taxpayer identification number. A 9-digit ITIN number issued by the IRS provides both resident and nonresident aliens with a unique identification number that allows them to file tax returns.
While that may have seemed like a good idea, it’s now backfiring in a big way.

Each spring, at tax preparation offices all across the nation, many illegal immigrants are now eagerly filing tax returns to take advantage of a tax loophole, using their ITIN numbers to get huge refunds from the IRS.

The loophole is called the Additional Child Tax Credit. It’s a fully-refundable credit of up to $1000 per child, and it’s meant to help working families who have children living at home.

But many undocumented workers are claiming the tax credit for kids who live in Mexico – lots of kids in Mexico.

“We’ve seen sometimes 10 or 12 dependents, most times nieces and nephews, on these tax forms,” the whistleblower said. “The more you put on there, the more you get back. …”

Do ya think, things need to be changed?

I want everybody, looking for a handout, thoroughly investigated...
...except for me...

It's downright rude if they check me out...
...

this kinda stuff has been goin on since welfare was created

I've read the UK is genuinely considering austerity measures.  Is that a realistic possibility?  I feel the entitlement mentality runs to deep within America.  TPTB would never consider this due to the civic disobedience that would follow.

Best regards,

If you recall earlier this year I shared about a little girl we've known since birth, as my wife was the nurse, who saw her in her first well care office visit....
My wife noticed the parents lived close to us, and a friendship ensued.
This was years ago in southern California.

She died earlier this year from heroin.....

They had followed us up to Washington and became neighbors again.

The dad has never worked a day since he arrived here.

He lives off his dad pension, who bought the house, and he gets money from the gubbermint to assist his dad, who is in his 90's.

He had no problems lying to the courts, about his daughter when his daughter was alive, and breaking parole promises that he too agreed to abide by.

He makes his wife work.

He gets other assistance from the state.

He tells us he can't work because his dad needs him, yet, he will be gone all day fishing in a used boat he bought, while dad just sits in front of the TV and mom works.

They have a son too....

He does not work either ( 24 years old )
They buy him cigarettes, pay for his cell phone and car/insurance, and beer, that he drinks everyday, and he goes fishing with his dad...

OH.... I misspoke when I said this guy (dad) doesn't work, he calls BINGO twice a week, gets 15 dollars a game I think, however, he plays 5 cards at 20 per too, when he ain't calling....

He is way over weight, has the bad diabetes, it killed his mom, and he is slowly going blind, and we all pay for his healthcare, as he won't do a thing to improve it.

I predict their son will run afoul of the law next, and they will become mad at the system again....

It is extremely hard for me to just watch this transpire, the wife has moments of fluidity, but quickly retreats into denial, as her emotions can not bare to address the truth....

When his dad dies, the 7 grand a month goes with him, then what?

He is a sponge.....

Oh, he has a college degree from Berkeley, political science.....

Is this the way of life a society should invest in?

Enabling is a cop out, plain and simple.......FACT!

It is way harder to say NO, than yes, and we see the decay all around us, it is the death knell of America.

A different tune Trump sings, not saying he is gospel, or even doable, presently, but he is resonating because he does address accountability and does not mince words, harsh they may seem, or be, but we will never fix a GAWD DANG THANG unless we can have HONEST dialogue without all the friggin PC GOTCHA mentality piled on....  

Berkeley, political science

There ya have it.. now you know what he was taught. Liberalism and entitlementalism.
