It is tax time again when the evidence of the grimy hand of the government reaching into one’s pocket is seen in black and white. Many are counting the days for their tax refunds to hit their bank accounts, realizing that the government feels entitled to one’s paycheck and it will spend it how it deems politically advantageous
In a investigative report, WTHR 13 reports that millions of illegal immigrants are getting bigger tax refunds than the law abiding American citizen. Through a massive IRS loophole, that cost billions of taxpayer dollars, IRS is simply handing out tax dollars to people who don’t even live here.
Bob Segal spent three months investigating the fraudulent behavior of the IRS. One man, a tax consultant, has discovered “huge fraud” and wants to blow the whistle on the nationwide problem with a enormous price tag. This is a “multi-billion dollar fraud scheme that is taking place”, involving illegal immigrants who are filing tax returns. Illegals, working in the United States, do not have a social security number, so the IRS created an ITIN, an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number, that has backfired in a big way.
Read on page two how illegals are using their ITIN to get enormous refunds.
Really? So all the complaints by Chinese nationals about unsafe working conditions are false? Wow.
The same people who allow billions of dollars to be stored off shore in non taxable bank accounts by corporations who buy Congress.

This makes me disgusted with the IRS and our government.
Deficit spending is not a bad thing. Is holding a mortgage for a potential home owner a bad thing? It enables the purchase of really big items, without having to wait. Government debt is the same. Treasuries allow us (and currently at almost zero interest) to borrow money and fund stuff would otherwise couldn’t. Would you take out a mortgage at zero interest to buy a home? Sure you would. It’s progress. Upward mobility. We need to be borrowing money at low rates to repair and upgrade our crumbling infrastructure, increase aid for college students, provide universal health coverage for all, and raise Social Security bennies. We can do that by raising taxes on the 1% and borrowing at almost zero interest. Low treasury rates mean investors are bullish on our future. That’s a good thing. And for every dollar borrowed, the return in economic growth, productivity, and increased tax revenue is substantial. Look at the return in our investment for the GI Bill and the Federal Highway system.
This is because the U.S. constitution states that anyone born here is a citizen.
Doesn’t matter the status of the parents, the children are, by the U.S. constitution, citizens, and this money is only avavailable because of that.
So before anyone blathers any conservative vs. liberal nonsense, read your constitution, and immigration laws.
Should it be changed?
Perhaps so.
But putting your idiotic heads in the sand of political rhetoric isn’t going to change the way the constitution was written.
You’re an idiot.
Why cause I know economics. You’re the idiot.
Logic. Reason. Sense. Sorry if you don’t understand or appreciate their uses, typical conservative.
Fucking impeach obama
