    I still have a difficult time equivocating Welfare to Tax Deductions.
    It's the mentality that's the same. When DarrinS posts the youtube of a black guy in front of the welfare office talking smack about how he got his Obama bucks CC is right there criticizing "those people". Yet he loves to brag about how he got his. If life dealt CC a different hand he'd jump right in that line to get his Obama bucks and talk just the same.

    You don't have to take things that you are "en led" to. My family has been "en led" to ~2500 in SSI payments for my step daughter for a few years. We have gotten by without it, so I figured I would save that money for someone else. I am sure that people will point out that I am a ing idiot for not taking the money, but if I don't need it and can get by without it, how can I possibly take it?
    Nobody would call you a ing idiot! for only that.

    Before I get a big head about taking this "holier than thou" position. I still take use my little tax cred... I mean children, so I can't take an incredibly solid stand here.

    To be fair, I take my mortgage interest deduction and would use the solar tax credit if I were in a position to do so.

    (my facade continues to crumble, maybe I should just take the SSI)

    A little more than a year ago, I would've qualified for WIC, and asked what people thought on here. I ultimately decided not to, for the same reasoning that you used above. I can get by relatively comfortably, and other people need it more. This is the reason why I'll never be a millionaire.

    Drachen, I think there's a big difference between taking social security/welfare/WIC/etc etc and tax deductions/tax breaks. Tax deductions are usually to promote a certain activity, so I wouldn't consider that a bad thing at all to take. But there's a limited budget for welfare/WIC/etc etc, and the more you take, the less there is for someone who actually needs it. On top of that, the more people who DON'T need it that take the money, means it makes it that much easier for those opposed to the program to point to these people and try to cut it. If you think welfare is an important program, then you should use it (or not use it) responsibly.

    I'm hopefully going to get out of that... keep your fingers crossed. (Of course, it's only because the nearest place to Clovis that they can do my son's surgery is a 3 1/2 hr trip...)
    I'm hoping they'll reassign me to the East Coast, but I'll probably get Minot.

    Government transfer programs and tax expenditures are the same in that they both contribute to the national debt. I must say I do find it a bit hypocritical to complain about the national debt then turn around and brag about how little you paid in taxes.

    So do you voluntarily pay more taxes than you owe?

    LOL I just said how I thought the tax code should be and you jumped in with the ankle biting. Insults most people stop using when their 12, beating your chest cause you've owned some cars ed some girls and been to exotic colorado, and then calling me a teenager. Hilarious meltdown from you.

    No, but I also don't buy that's tax subsidized or give to charity for the sole purpose of tax avoidance.
