And for all this trouble with dubious debts they are getting what, enough to run Washington for five minutes?
Ah, but it’s cool. “It’s a tax.”

Ah, but try getting money back retroactively from them. If your refund is more than three year old, you get zip credit.
Also if both you and your spouse paid SS, only one gets a check. how about that.

"Turns out that the feds had seized and then continued to hold her federal and state refunds, an amount greater than $4,400 even though they were only demanding $2,996 from her to pay off her fathers debt. Lo and behold, once WaPo found out and started asking questions, the $1,400 excess was promptly returned to her. Amazing how fast bureaucracy can move when someone looks behind the curtain."
Kind of like the way the BLM also quickly backed down when the Reid/ChiCom land grab for solar power came to light.

This just isn’t right(morally speaking).
If the Republicans had a brain, they would beat 0bama and the Dems over the head with this every day, from now until November.

All this urgency language is the same as a police brutality video. There is no reason in 90% of those cases for the cops to hurry people or force them to say something.
This whole culture has me incensed.
That liberals buy or support this crypto dictatosprship executive orders language of Obama is absolute evil.... coming for the people who always cry for the like of mumiah jamal or Rodney King.
The Occutards and the brutalizing government are one and the same.

Don’t believe that’s true...

The number one thing to learn from this...do not have more withheld than your tax liability so that you can get ‘a refund’ . . . when you have too much withheld, you are loaning the gov’t money interest free . . . and when they do this kind of shit, you are SOL

I thought debt-bondage was outlawed by treaty.

That is pure, unadultrated BS! I get a check, my wife gets a check. And when we applied for hers, they figured it several ways...her earnings, and her check based on my earnings. She gets more based on my earnings. WE BOTH GET A CHECK!

Let me rephrase that.
A woman who never worked gets her man’s SS after he died.
But a woman who contributed to SS has to choose whether to get her man’s or her’s, not both if he dies.

Are we quiet meek serfs? Controlled by mocking and shaming on tv?
When will we take back our free country?

Who voted for that farm bill???
To: 2ndDivisionVet
Just more cases of “the rich” being expected to “pay their fair share”.Mitt Romney was able to get away with not paying taxes for 10 years (Dirty Harry says it,so it must be true) but *these” people won't.
To: 2ndDivisionVet
You would think there is a statue of limitation on repayment.
Holding the children responsible for what happened to the parents is not going to go over well with the public.
BTW, what about underpayment. Will the government be sending out checks too?
