8 types of income the IRS can't touch

why is it you are on a medical dissability from your job you only get 1000 a month and the government thinks they deserve 300 of it each month how is anyone to survive on dissability, does the government think they need there hands in everything..

I am not sure where you find in the Constitution the ability the federal government has to provide healthcare. Can you show me? That is the document that we uphold. Did you find it? Why does the government have to give us a service that is privately provided? Where does that even make sense? These other countries don't have the same standard of freedom, they don't have a governing document that keeps the government in check, they have a different mentality, they don't think like Americans. What they have may be good, fair, equitable, and functional. They are in a different country with a different set of expectations.

Still, I don't understand why one would think the government should give them something that other companies provide for a profit. Socialism? Doesn't that smack of fascism? This country has stood for personal responsibility, self sustenance, and accountability. Even the great democrat, JFK said, "Ask not what your country can do for you but what you can do for your country." We have had personal obligation at the center of the growth of this great nation. That has made us unique, that has made us successful, that has made us the greatest nation in the history of the world.

This is besides talking about all of the inconsistencies that it creates. Someone gets sick because of their home circumstances, someone gets cancer because of their lifestyle, and the populace pays for their inability to control aspects in their life that could have allowed them to forego the ailment in the first place?  And then where does the "basic" end? When the person is 21, 65, 100? Is it after two operations? Is it after they have taken out the malignant tissue? For the second time? When they have been sick for one month, one year, two years? Maybe it is after they have tried for three months to find the root of the problem (to no avail), is it? Is it only until one earns $50,000, $100,000, $1M? And then they are no longer equal to everyone else that earns less because they are no longer able to get the same care as everyone else?

This doesn't even consider that states do have the ability to create plans. Why don't they? Massachusetts did. Why don't you go lobby them? You can do something for your country--there it is. There is your ministry--go to your state legislators and lobby them. You can surely do that rather than uselessly pining (and ludicrously accusing) on a website offering ways to do better in identifying ways to honestly do your taxes.

To answer your question: you can have health care coverage--go pay for it.

You failed to mention full disability income from your employer.

if they say there gonna do something just so they could get into office, and they don't do it.  they should be able to be put out of office. we would be voting every day.

They say that people need someone to blame and it sounds as if that person is currently President Obama. I guess these individuals forgot what they began learning in elementary school about the structure of our government. President Obama has not single handedly create the financial crises that began long before he took office. It took many, many years to create the issues that now exist. Along the way, we all had the opportunity to vote for our local, state and federal representatives who all contribute to the progblem or focus on solutions. President Obama may or may not have made a poor decision about health care, or a component of education, or any of the multitude of decisions he is responsible for as our President, like all Presidents before him. To expect one man to fix all of the country's problems within one 4-year-term is unreasonable. Also consider that while his decisions may not have been in your best interests, it is possible that a significant population is able to feed their children, etc. Regarding the lady who thinks people can just walk away from their jobs and get better ones. What do you know about the unemployment rate and the increased competition for jobs resulting from it. Clearly you have not faced many, if any challenges in your life the build the character, dedication and passion that drives those of us who are in circumstances we never believed possible? I don't believe I have ever called anyone a name before but I can think of no better way to respond but to say, "What a snot!"

@mstk5: If the troops are coming home how come my local air base just sent 130+ people to replace 130+ people already in the middle east? In 4 months, I bet they will send another 130+ people.  When will the media verify the claims of this Administration?  Armed Service people rotating to the middle east have not stopped and they will not stop under this President.

Right on Doug, I have had an experience  a lot like yours. Many people today are working two or three jobs to make ends meet. That's how Obama can claim he "created" jobs. Many have also had to take lower paying positions and handle more of a workload. He also "cut spending" from 3.2 trillion last year to 3.5 trillion this year. Of course that is Obamaspeak' If he is re-elected we will each owe more in debt to foriegn countries than we can pay in decades of super taxation.

I'll say something nice about the President - I hope he has a nice retirement.

 

That his cell is as comfy as the rest of the criminals that have done various degrees of harm to this country.  That he gets to have his best buddy Eric Holder for a cellmate.  That the general population does to him daily what he's done to the country daily.

eh
