Me bitchy: I can NOT believe she had earned $13K this year and only because she has 3 kids her tax return is $10K... What are these freaking foreigners did to the country so it gives them so much money in return? I had been working my arz off for years and had never seen more than a $2K back! I did not make tons of kidz though...just one. Maybe that's why? So let's have Uncle Sam take care of everyone's kids now? WTF??? --------------------------------------------
Me nice: Oh! I have just found out that my friend who came to US little over a year ago with husband and 3 kids got hefty refund of $10K. I am so happy for her. Now they will be able to do what they had planned as to go back and throw lavish wedding for their relative and show everyone how generous US is and make more people want to come here and mooch of off the system. I am beside myself with joy. Mostly because we are living in such a wonderful place that gives opportunity to deserving people to do what they deserve. Without much effort. She made $13K this year and her husband couldn't find job so it was that - $13K.
HOW ABOUT IT? Should I quit my job NOW???

If you are for hard work and giving people incentive to work, then please vote in November '12. Im not saying things will dramatically change, but we need to vote them out.
I work my butt off and live way under my means so I can have money in the bank and this person just got a check for 10 grand.

This is the most articulate I've ever seen TLoony. Apparently the smaller tax refund is also a reward for making an effort to learn the language.
I'm sure her friend, however, did not bother to learn any English, so she can demand that an interpreter be present to translate everything.
Although maybe Loony should ask WCP to show her how to get creative with some "business deductions".

Anyone care to remind me? Ah! You USE TO BE USEFULL! Because you love us. I am not answering your question (if there is one) because we know none of the details. I like you rant, though, and I wanted to comment about it.

And you are not too old to pop out a few more kids, Loon. Sell the store, get a minimum wage job, pop out a couple more kids and live the good life.

Why are you so angry that they have 3 children? With that low of an income, there probably isn't much difference in their "refund" from 1 and 3 kids. Low income = earned income credit. Just another form of welfare. Very low income not only doesn't pay tax, they get a refund. All I can say is I wouldn't trade places with them.

"paying $10-$20 like most ladies would for a grocery store test off the shelf"
What? Why not go to the dollar store, they have them there for a dollar.

They only got $10,000 back? For a family of five? That is far below the poverty line. Poor family is probably starving!

tloonya - I feel the same way you do. Sadly, it is not only foreigners doing this. There are plenty of born and bred Americans that work as little as possible and get HUGE returns too.
The last few months I have felt like a robot - work, work, work, just to stay ahead. Then I see all of these other "fortunate" people going on vacation and getting things I cannot afford without going into debt.

Well everyone is always saying they are going to use the money on vacation or fun stuff so would you rather they take that 10k and pay their bills...paying 6 months of rent? Paying off any car loans or cash advance loans?
Gov. says they get it. So what would be the proper thing for the poor to do with the money? Granted it should be...get a better job. But there will always be poor people.
So what would you rather they do with that money?

Not sure who started the EIC or child tax credit. I'm gonna guess the House and the Senate had something to do with it. Those who are probably no longer in D.C.
And "deserved" isn't the word I would use.
But anyways...
Nothing they(they being anyone who gets a large refund I guess?) do with the money will be ok. Ok, I understand now.

Child credit is only 1k per child and it reduces your total tax. Certain rules, if met, if any is left over it becomes a cash refund known as additional child tax credit. Not sure if there is all of it left if you end up getting all of it in cash or what.
With 13k income I'm gonna guess most of their refund is EIC. Then some of it is the additional child tax. And don't forget the making work pay credit.
Not sure if it's sad or funny that she thinks she actually deserves more.
