- Y0tsuya, on 06/25/2008, -0/+4As it should be. Deadbeats need to pay up one way or another.
- USNavyBlue, on 06/25/2008, -0/+2I am glad to see parents getting the back child support payments needed (and dead beats also include many women its NOT just men that desert their families).
However this "tax stimulus" will do nothing long term for the economy, its a smoke screen. Fiat money created out of thin air backed by nothing will collapse and the USA is on the verge sooner than most people think - September 2008! - PhillAholic, on 06/26/2008, -0/+2Michigan doesn't get its delinquent state taxes collected, Balamaci says. The reason: It hires private contractors to collect back taxes.
Michigan just loves screwing themselves don't they?
