As far as your "sister" goes, we'll see. Either a) She's a made up persona you've created to add credibility to your claims or b) You called your SISTER and asked for her to come rescue you on a blog site! Actually, I merely called my sister to ask about Army benefits, when she asked why, I tod her abou
Eric, you DO know that admin can see what IPs are being posted from, and that if you have set up a dual account to talk to yourself or provide otherwise non-existant support for your arguments, they will both expose and make fun of you for doing so? Oh whip,
You can debate this with yourself til the end of time if it makes you feel better. But I'm not going to argue with someone who refuses to acknowledge any fact that doesn't support his preconceived viewpoint. Besides offering up inspiring stories about buying
I believe that without exception, every significant, multi-victim school shooting we've ever had in this country has occurred in predominantly white, middle class schools. I beleive that without exception, those are merely the shootings that make
Alrighty, so I went back and read around for a bit and found out Eric's wife is pregnant, and he was dissin on some folks at the OB's office, especially a young couple with a small child and another on the way that had Medicaid. Then your going on to grip about getting by on $35000 a year. I did the math, and the research and, yo
Did you know when Housing Allowance was introduced for the military it was because military base pay was so low and congress wouldn't allow a raise of any decent amount? So they came up with this catchy phrase "Housing Allowance" which was and is part of the member's pay, not something extra. But they made it seperate so they cou
I doubt very seriously you'd engage the average person making less than $35k and tell them that because they make less than $35,000 that they are unfit parents. I would strongly suggest you not do that, anyway, if you like your face the way it is. Imagine yourself strutting up t
Particularly one who has been nothing but condescending and abusive toward me? Cmon Tex, I stated some simple facts about the benefits of military service. You made it a personal attack against me, calling me a military hater and questioning the honesty of my posts. <TABLE cellpadding=8 width=
Ask yourself if this is the kind of thing you'd say to people's faces, or if maybe you'd be too ashamed or afraid to. I have on two occassions offered Tex my 800 number so that we could discuss the issue. She's in Hawaii and I'm in Atlanta, of course should she ever transfer to Fort Benning, I
Actually, most of the article is "arguing with Tex" only I'm not there to defend myself. Very classy. What!!! I referred to our discussions in previous forums and only stated facts. If I overstated any of your benefits in the beginning of my post, then please correct me. By the way, I'm on the phone wit
Well, first off, understand that auto insurance is substantially more in urban areas. Second, understand that many low income homes do not offer off street parking, and you can see where a multi unit complex could quickly leave you without a place to PARK your vehicle, if you COULD buy it (trust me, though, I DO see your point on
But I will not retract what I said to eric! He's just wrong on so many points. Just read my newer post, lot's less emotion, no arguing with Tex, just my simple opinion of why I beleive what I beleive. Link <b
AS MUCH as $4300. I WILL correct you, Eric, because you ARE wrong. The EIC operates on a "sliding scale"; at lower income levels, you receive less; then beyond a certain point it beging to taper off. At above $30,000, for instance, the EIC isn't a very large amount of money at al
As long as government programs continue to pay more than working class jobs, people will find ways to stay on welfare. As hard as it is to understand that mindset, it is just common sense on the part of those families. This is why I am a huge advocate of privatization. Because a privately run charitable organization can better as
Eric, you are obviously classist and feel that the only people qualified to have children are the wealthy. Your attitude only further serves to create conflict between the rich and poor. Gideon, don't pull a Tex on me here, I am not talking about plasma TV's and polo jeans. I'm talking about a man that
I would no more trust that person with a pet bird, much less a child. Crap, I just know with my luck that littlewhip or Tex will wind up being bird fanatics.
Do you live in the country? Are you unaware of busses and public transportation? Call me classist all you want, but if you can't simply afford a used car to get to the grocery store, the doctor's office or the heck out of a flooding town then NO!!! you have no business having children. Public transporta
Who qualifies? Many people think the credit is available only to parents. It's not. But the amount the Internal Revenue Service will give back is greater for eligible low-wage taxpayers with children. Ergo, you are encouraged to have children (preferably more than one) On 2004 returns, the maximum credit can be as much as $4,300 for workers supporting two or more kids . A worker with one child can get up to $2,604 w
Is there a minimum income level for EIC? Okay then, go out and get a job, make a few thousand, quit or intentionally lose the job, live off of government assistance and as a reward get a nice check from Uncle Sam at the end of the year. I forgot to mention that it helps to blame Bush for all your woes,
EIC, for all its flaws, actually encourages responsible behaviour. By paying more for married couples than for unmarried, it encourages families to stay married and thus (in theory at least) curbs one of the major risk factors for generational poverty. Or as
Dems get money from Liberal groups, mind you, but their real issue is getting people elected. Good point baker. I agree that it is pandering, but I think you have to see
I refuse to comment on a rich versus poor issue, I just can't win those. I'll have Tex telling me about how she can raise her kids on $.32 a day and litte whip will be talking about how bad she is kicking my ass.
BULLSHIT! If that were true, you would not be claiming that we have all these "FREE" benefits that make our lives so nice and tidy. You wouldn't be insisting that it's not like the "real world". Tex, you of all people should know that you do not live in the real world. You and every one of your neighbor
Actually my sister is not the one in the military, it's her husband. He's a major (don't hold it against him, he was orignially enlisted but earned his degree and went to OCS 12 years ago) and is indeed currently serving at Fort Benning. Really Tex, cut through the al the arguements and do this; I'm sure your good at internet reasearch. Pretend that you are getting out of the service, moving to Atlanta and you've secured a job earning 35k for
Let's forget about the military crap and what not and concentrate on realisticly living on $35,548.00 as a family of four. You've simply done the typical bleeding heart, "your just rich so you can't be correct crap" that makes under achievers feel good. And little whip just keeps talking about kicking my ass because I pointed out one time that her over educated, intellectual elitist, better half is a pompous ass. <a href="http://www.apartmentf
