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.
That’s why the IRS should be abolished. And the illegals sent back to their home countries asap.
Because the ones in the white are loopy!
One of the reasons SS didn’t get a cost of living raise.
Don’t give the illegals any of our money they don’t need anything go to where you come from today….
This is called being milked the war is here home thanks to Obama
America when does it stop. They fear if OBAMA is arrested they’re be riots in the streets.Well that could happen .But there could be bigger riots in the streets if they dont.Law and justice has to be maintained. It’s still we the PEOPLE.
i DON’T SUPPOSE ANY OF YOU ASSHOLES COULD FIX THIS WITHOUT IT COSTING US TWISE THAT/
I WORK N PAY TAXES. AND I AM MAD AS HELL OVER THIS.
Dennis Rice. I Am Totally Pissed Off With All Of This B.S. That Obama Has Done To Me And Others Like Me !! There Are Counties In Texas Where The Average State Run Social Security Income Is $50,000. I Have Been Hurt Not Only With Lower Social Security Income But Increased MEDICARE Expenses Through A Ripoff Health Plan Called United Health Care Through AARP. WHAT a Joke ? While Obamacare People Who Don’t Work And Illegals Live A Higher Standard Of Living Than I Do? Obama Needs To Be Stopped Now By Any Means Possible. I Would Not Shed A Tear If He Disappeared Tomorrow !!!!
THE MISLEADING IMPLICATION: Bernie Sanders is against military/war funding.
THE REALITY: Sanders has an unquestionable record of voting to expand military spending, support involvement in some foreign conflicts, and expand foreign aid to regions of conflict. While the merit or necessity of each particular vote is debatable, as a matter of political narrative, the following information is relevant:
• In 1993, Bernie voted YEA on HR 2446 – adding $3.63 billion in spending towards military construction. [1]
• In 1993, Bernie voted in favor of S J Res 45 – Authorizing U.S. Armed Forces in Somalia. [2]
• In 1994, Bernie voted in favor of HR 4453 – adding another $2.52 billion for military construction. [3]
• In 1997, Bernie voted for HR 2159 – Foreign Operations FY98 Appropriations bill, which included: $3 billion for Israel, including $1.8 billion in military assistance and $1.2 billion in economic assistance; $2.12 billion for Egypt, including $1.3 billion in military assistance and $815 million in economic assistance; $770 million for former Soviet Republics; and $215 million for international narcotics control and law enforcement. [4]
• He voted for HR 4059 – adding $2.82 billion in military spending to fiscal year 1999. [5]
• In 1998, Bernie voted for the Iraqi Liberation Act of 1998, declaring it the aim of the United States to remove Saddam Hussein from power. [6] This is relevant for those who were against the 2003 Iraq war, as it was part of the reasoning later used to justify said war.
• In 1999, Bernie voted for HR 2465, which provided $4 billion for military construction. [7]
• In 1999, he also voted for HR 3196, which provided: $2.16 billion for military and economic assistance to Israel; $760 million for military and economic assistance to Egypt; $535 million for Eastern European and the Baltic States, including $150 million for assistance to Kosovo; $300 million for military and economic assistance to Jordan; and $285 million for international narcotics control. [8]
• In 2002, Bernie supported HR 5010, which added an increased $37.5 billion to the 2002 defense appropriations, provided $355.1 billion in defense appropriations for 2003, $71.6 billion for procurement of aircraft, missiles, weapons, combat vehicles and shipbuilding; $7.4 billion for ballistic missile defense; and $58.4 million for foreign aid. [9]
• In 2003, he voted in favor of HR 2800, which granted $1.8 billion in military and economic assistance to Egypt and $2.2 billion for Israeli military assistance. [10]
• In 2004, Bernie supported HR 4613, which allocated $25 billion for military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan, and $77.4 billion for the procurement of new weapons. [11]
• In 2005, Sanders supported HR 2863 – which provided $50 billion for ongoing operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. [12]
• In 2006, Bernie voted for HR 5631, which provided $70 billion for ongoing operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. [13]
• In 2007, he supported HR 1585 – which granted $187.14 billion for Iraq and Afghanistan operations. [14]
• In 2009, he voted in favor of HR 2647, which authorized $309 million for research and evaluation, procurement, or deployment of an alternative Missile Defense System in Europe, and also allowed the Secretary of Defense to increase the active-duty number for the US Army to a number greater than previously allowed by law. [15]
• In 2009, Sanders voted against closing Guantanamo Bay. [16]
• In 2011, Bernie co-sponsored S. Res. 85, which urged the UN Security Council to take action in the Libyan conflict, including the possible imposition of a no-fly zone over Libyan territory. [17]
CONCLUSION: While true that Sanders often voices anti-war rhetoric, it’s important to acknowledge that he may not actually be as anti-war as he pledges to be. He’ll vote against a particular war but then vote numerous other times to continuously fund it. That’s the equivalent of saying to one group of voters, “I didn’t support X,” while saying to a different set of voters, “I supported X.” Again, the merit of each vote is debatable, and this article isn’t even attempting to judge any particular one of them as “right” or “wrong.” But whether it be his support for Clinton’s middle eastern wars, support for Obama’s Libyan war and drone program, financial support for Bush’s middle eastern wars, or numerous votes to expand the military industrial complex such as his support of the F-35 program which has an expected lifetime cost of over 1 trillion dollars [18], these facts are relevant for those voters who believe him to be something he isn’t.
