Oh, yeah, we've heard this song since Reconstruction. You rightards are
afraid you might have to share the costs and have to pay a little for the

No, they do creative accounting to prevent excessive taxable income.

There is a difference.

Oh, and that BTW is TOTALLY legal and ANYONE can do it.

Well maybe they should have decided whether they education they were paying
for was actually going to produce the income necessary to service what they
paid to get their degree....

But clearly being a college graduate doesn't mean you're smart.

Explains why so many of them are Democrats... want something for nothing and
then complains when that other person doesn't want to pay for it.

How do you determine what is substandard?

Is that just less than you think you should get for doing nothing?

I mean you've already admitted you want an income without having to pay your
taxes... so what's next.

Do they?

Hmmm.. maybe you should employ yourself then, or maybe start your own
business.. If you go to California you can start by giving all your workers
$100/hr and still be making $100/hr for yourself for every employee.

So why aren't you rich?

Easy, they have this notion that as long as it's coming from the government
it's free..... while they complain about paying taxes to the government.

It's because they have

And yet anyone can use them.

"The IRS Whistleblower Office pays monetary awards to eligible individuals
whose information is used by the IRS. The award percentage depends on
several factors, but generally falls between 15 and 30 percent of the
proceeds collected and attributable to the whistleblower's information."

So what are you waiting for? All you have to do is provide your information
showing they aren't paying what they owe and you could become rich.

Do you have proof of that?

You realize the IRS will pay you a percentage of any taxes collected if you
can provide them such evidence that results in the collection of taxes owed?

So what are you waiting for?

Oh.. that's right.. actual evidence for your claims.
