My sister in law-the welfare queen- took her “Earned Income Tax Credit”...yeah, one of the forty-seven percent who not only don't pay income tax but get some back from the government - but it's greedy and insensitive of us to talk about that - while the top two percent of earners pay fifty percent of the income taxes collected - and they must be punished for doing so well and made to pay more of "their fair share" - it is becoming literally sickening.....

There are no words to describe how angry it makes me-

her kids are 13 and up and she still says she cannot work because she “has to be there for them” because one has an irritable bowel (I couldn’t even make that up)...she has never worked and they have 2 insurances; one thru the husband at work and of course Medicaid; 2 cars, each kid has there own TV, a computer and a laptop and an HE pedestal washer and dryer (which I cannot even afford-that was probably last year’s “tax credit”)....she also has a boarder that has been living with them in their 5 bedroom apartment for years...so yes, I am sick about it daily as we struggle to pay for our oil right now...

ok-rant over-thanx-I feel a bit better :)
