The amount on the refund checks and the number of people with them is unprecedented. Not quite sure about the big picture, but know that bankruptcy of this country is imminent with this type of fiscal irresponsibility going on. The government is buying the loyalty of the lower classes and will force everyone working to pay for it while government workers enjoy wonderful health benefits, retirement and living conditions. We have become slaves.

[dforest]

Well, they can’t force people to work. Without workers, the sugar tit goes away.

[skeeter]

Backdoor income redistribution.

Commies are sneaky rectal orifices.

[WayneS]

Once the amount “refunded” exceeds the amount withheld it is no longer a refund. It is a welfare check.

Some don't even have children. Don't know quite how this is happening,

I've done some tax work. It happens because folks simply supply fraudulent information and the IRS does little or nothing to verify the tax returns claiming all the EITC and child credits.

If someone has a legitimate W-2 for several thousand in earnings, they just add the phony dependents and claim the credits.

[ThomasMore]

“Refunds” to the poor (who never paid taxes to begin with) ... is the covert euphemism for “redistribution of wealth”. Verbal engineering precedes social engineering.

[seeker41]

They kept my 500.00 refund. I got a letter form the Treasury stating it was used to pay a VA bill that I didn’t even know about, no details given. Just who it was sent to and the amount paid. I am only a white female vet who is without a job. Not a minority, it really makes me angry!

[rarestia]

Meanwhile, I’m dishing out massive amounts of money to the IRS for supposedly not paying enough.

[stranger and pilgrim]

I’ve seen it in my business. The amount of money low-income people toss around the first three months of the year is simply staggering.

[yldstrk]

Oh and are you all aware the lower class sells the dependent deductions to each other?

[The Antiyuppie]

Ummm...”refund” implies that a party is receiving money that it had provided in the first place.

These are probably not “refunds”.

[PghBaldy]

Is this from an email, or do you have more direct knowledge of this? I don’t distrust you, just wonder about the info

[Varda]

My boss told me that in her old neighborhood, people used to pass around the same three kids for tax and welfare checks. It must be they never check SS numbers to see if they've been used.
I'm sure they don't care. The more people dependent on the government, the more power in the hands of bureaucrats.

"The part that really stuck out to me was when I overheard the rep say that Jarrett told them, “After we win this election, it’s our turn. Payback time. Everyone not with us is against us and they better be ready because we don’t forget. The ones who helped us will be rewarded, the ones who opposed us will get what they deserve. There is going to be hell to pay. - See more at: http://righttruth.typepad.com/right_truth/2012/11/valerie-jarrett-after-we-win-this-election-its-our-turn-payback-time.html#sthash.QuWg41CC.dpuf

This is not news. The administration made it a public announcement. How hard is it to listen, read, and observe?

[Born to Conserve]

It’s fraud.

Since there is no prosecution of underclasses for non drug, non violent crime, they are free to maximize their take without concern for repercussions.

For people with property or income, fraud will result in loss of all wealth, and loss of freedom.

This is not an accident. The communist/socialists have orchestrated this redistribution of wealth and freedom. They have in fact won the contest. YOU will lose your property, and go to jail before you die. The underclass will rape your descendents.

[CARTOUCHE]

MMTU,

There’s a simple solution to this and the wails of protest would be heard from every race-baiter and liberal (but I repeat myself). Flat tax. No deductions, no rebates, no EITC.

So when do you think we can expect John Boehner and Co. to bring this to the House?

Your observations from the ‘street’ are quite correct and the activity is mainly illegal but because they are our ‘poor’ and deserve our sympathy, nothing will be done to track or thwart it.

[Ann Archy]

These are NOT "Refunds"......these are FREE MONEY because the Poor DON'T PAY ANY TAXES except for Sales Tax and maybe some minor SS Tax!!!

This is OUR HARD EARNED MONEY GOING TO ILLEGALS!!!!

[Popman]

This has been going on for YEARS...

Even since the Bush tax credit for $1,500 per child if you are low enough income...

Tax Credit meaning you get $1,500 per child regardless of how much federal tax you paid...(2014 is now $1,000 credit )

Also just to REALLY piss off people...

Thousands of US child citizens living in Mexico are being used as a tax credit also...
