UNCLE SAM’S PIGGY BANK HAS BEEN ROBBED!
March 6, 2008
Tax year rolls around again, and if you are lucky, you won’t have a huge tax bill to pay by April 15th. Let’s face it, you worked hard all year, long hours, stressed, possibly two jobs to make ends meet for your family. You brought home about ninety-thousand, and for all your efforts ,you paid $8,000 to $10,000 (possibly more) in income tax, which is your fair share as an AMERICAN. Guess what, you just paid the EIC for one family, who has two working adults.
Earned Income Credit is a government program. Go figure! If you qualify, the government will give you approximately $4,900 as a bonus for not making money (not working) and give back all the tax money you paid in. And, if you qualify, and you can received the following year’s EIC automatically in your pay check!
It’s free, untaxed money to those who don’t want to work! Read further, because I am not talking about the people who can not earn a big income or who are on fixed incomes. Most people have no idea how EIC works. So, let me educate you. It’s another AMERICAN RIP OFF FOR THOSE OF US WHO WORK AND PAY TAXES! ANOTHER monumental government waste, as is welfare in most cases, when you have generations receiving the benefits, working the system. They don’t work a job, they work the system and they are dam good at it. I worked for social services for nine months and 65% of my case load (250 cases) were bogus, or pure lazy.
EIC is earned income credit given to families who make under certain incomes. The government calls it EARNED. IT IS NOT EARNED!!!!!! The maximum income limit using round figures is thirty-nine thousand for more than one child, and thirty-three thousand for one child. It drops real low for those who have no children. That’s nice, how we care for those who chose not to work. I am not complaining about those who can not earn more income. Read on!
Here is where it bites into my big fat economy. I paid for one of the EIC families last year. Okay, Mr. and Mrs. Hispanic who have children (mind you, I said Mr. and Mrs.), you are abusing our AMERICAN system. They go to the tax preparer, and lo and behold, they are no longer married. See many cultures, the women do not take their husband’s name, such as the Hispanic and Asian culture. So, Mr. and Mrs. now look like two different households. Mrs. takes a child, and Mr. takes a child or children and they file separately. YES FRAUD! Their incomes let’s say is thirty-two thousand a piece. Total FAMILY income would be sixty-four thousand. Mr. and Mrs. American would not get a penny, because they MAKE TOO MUCH MONEY AND ARE NOT ELIGIBLE. But, Mr. and Mrs. permanent resident alien can, because their last names are not the same. They get almost $10,000 dollars!!!!
Tax preparers know this, but they still file the return knowing they are screwing the AMERICAN TAXPAYER. SO, UNCLE SAM (short for sorry ass management), it is more profitable for AMERICANS NOT TO GET MARRIED, that way they can collect more from our government!
But Barb, they have to show another address. How simple is that? The tax preparer puts down another address, and I have SEEN the same address! I have been a loan officer for many years (except the nine months in social services) and I have seen this abuse over and over and over again. It is great that these people fill in the job gap, and do the “so called” jobs Americans do not want to do (who did them before they got here?) but the cost to the taxpayer is through the roof….and it makes me mad when I have to pay for this abuse.
Not only do they get $10,000 dollars free, and untaxed, they are probably getting food stamps, health care, housing assistance through HOME-OWNERSHIP or rent. The employer who is getting the job done cheap, trust me they know these people are illegal, they profit, but we, as tax-paying citizens are paying to keep these people employed, and they are enjoying all the comforts of our AMERICAN home.
COME ON AMERICA, STAND UP AND FIGHT FOR WHAT IS RIGHT. PROTECT THOSE BORDERS! THE TAX MONEY IS GOING TO RUN OUT SOME DAY. THE DEEP POCKETS ARE WORN AND WHOLLY. WE NEED ACTION NOT APPEASEMENT! STOP THE ABUSE. WE GIVE ENOUGH! UNCLE SAM’S PIGGY BANK IS GETTING ROBBED!
