Since I left full time employment in 2007 i've never been happier. I don't even get a tax return this year LOL. Leisure time to do all I want is my ideal lifestyle. So much less stress that way. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 593772 United States 01/24/2009 08:17 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | If we can make 51 percent of America’s population dependent upon a federal government check, we can then bribe them for their vote, keep ourselves in power and keep the remaining portion of America’s working population enslaved to pay the bills ____ Our Marxist Democrat game plan, a plan to establish a federal plantation and redistribute the wages earned by labor. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 586290that's EXACTLY what i notice happening. everybody wants a govt check or diability benefits or free health care or food stamps or something more than they alrerady have. most people seem to be WILLING to literally WHORE themselves out to get uncle sam to fund them. it is disgusting the greed of the common american person to get his/hers. and the govt is willing to oblige because then they owe that person's sorry ass and now-sorry brain. a few people refuse to participate in this obvious scam, however. |

I am currently unemployed drawing unemployment and going to school. I had a permanent job with the fed government. I quit over a year ago to return to school. I work in the summer as a seasonal trail laborer in Isle Royale National Park. Not sure if I will be returning next summer all depends on the budget. I have 4 more years paying on my house and 3 years until i get a degree as a registered nurse. One way to get the most out of life is to look upon it as an adventure. William Feather |

Then where do u stay and how are u able to be on line I usually find a floor to sleep on somewhere, but all my stuff is in my car or in a storage unit. I have to keep bins of food in my car and what not. Some nights I just drive around all night and then go sleep in a parking lot during the day so I don't get rousted by cops. I can get online at friends houses, the library. I also have an old desktop I put together dumpster diving. I have that hooked up in my car. I can usually pick up a wifi signal at a motel or some other businesses. My cousin used to let me use his laptop sometimes too, so I could go sit at Barnes & Noble with it.

Bugeater User ID: 532975 United States 01/25/2009 11:30 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I work for a large Railroad, some area's are getting layoffs worse than others, but overall I think the layoff's are around 10% of total workforce. This might be misleading at this point because the Railroad lays off certain portions of certain crafts this time of year anyway, but not 10% of the total. I am not affected so far, but I can see huge changes on it's way for the rail industry, we've just begun the slowdown. |

Example One: Single person earns $10,294. This figure is exactly the poverty threshold which was defined by the U.S. Census Bureau in 2006. Last year, that amount would be taxed by the Federal government in the amount of $117. Example Two: A single person who earns $13,000 last year will pay $327 in Federal income tax.
