Having a refund doesn't mean you didn't pay taxes. It means you gave the government an interest free loan for a year, ie you overpaid.
drinking to excess can destroy families, can cause the death or injury to innocent people, death, illness to the drinker, lead to poverty, crime
gambling addiction can lead to poverty, destruction of families, crime
smoking can lead to health issues, financial strain
adultery can destroy families
pre-marital sex can lead to low self-esteem later, STDs, unwanted children, abortions
gay sex can cause STDs
adult porn addiction can destroy families, lives
Rap music I just don't like it
Rock and Roll I do like it, but didn't want to look biased against Rap
violent video games Think they bad for impressionable young children and might lead to acting out.
single parents many live on government subsidies, disadvantage to the children
abortion morally bad for society and not healthy for the unborn
laying on sofa, watching TV causes obesity
not working, by choice not harmful I guess, just not helpful
bars can lead to arrests from fights or DUI
accepting subsidies just because you qualify drag on tax payers
Having Dish network while on welfare just not right if you can't afford food and rent on your own.
wasting food just wrong and well, wasteful.
finding loop holes to avoid taxes, legal but a simpler tax system would be more fair to those who can't find or use them.
letting your pets reproduce just wrong in every way unless you are a reputable breeder. fill up shelters, strain on animal control
wasting all day on DPcould lead to mental breakdowns and can cause obesity.
but the childhood obesity problem deserves 17 more gov. programs billions of dollars, tons of regulations, because it's costly to our healthcare.:roll:
Oh, and it's a danger to our national security.:roll:
It's breeding a cradle to grave mentality.
Government needs to get the hell out of the way and let people live their lives, and raise their own kids.

That's where I take issue: why should it costs billions to stop serving pizza and start serving healthier foods?
You had a tax debt for '09?

Do you qualify for the earned income credit?
I'm not sure what you mean by a tax debt. Did I owe money at the end of the year? I might not specialize in taxes, but I am an accountant. It's not that hard to break even.
So, you didn't have to write a check to Uncle Sam this spring? ok, got it.

It's not that hard to owe money. All it takes is someone claiming too many exemptions.
People that have a tax debt every year aren't real concerned about how tax money is wasted on bull****. My tax bill for '09 was 9 g's and the Libbos want to make me pay more. What was your tax debt for '09? Did you even have one, or did you get a refund?
Oh...btw, for those who are interested...
Since the thread topic is about nutrition and healthy eating, I found this website that allows you to select say a family farm or organic diner, for example, in your area. I know...that's what the Yellow Pages are for, but I thought it was a decent website and wanted to share. I won't give the name because it would be promoting (I hope I haven't violated a forum rule, but if so, mods feel free to remove this post), but if you're interested just click on the link above.
I was overweight when I joined the Army. So, I've done plenty of research. Can grossly obese join the military? Probably not. But, yes, fat kids can join the military.
Carry on, I'll be in the area all day.
Ah I see what you were going for. Except I do pay tax dollars and I'm thrilled with the green agenda. In fact, I'd support higher taxes to encourage it.
:shrug: Hey, I'm a liberal.
hey 'liberal'...if you guys just invest your own dollars in the green industry we wont have to worry about the tax dollars!

Oh, no! We can't let that happen. That would mean that the market would set the pace and so far, the market has said, "uh, noooooo!", to all this green bull****.
But it's so much more effective if we tax everyone!
I wish someone would tell the people at Whole Foods that. Maybe then I could go grocery shopping without fighting over the last of the organic arugula!
Ya think so? Cuz...while it may be spreading the pain...I dont really see it as being very effective. Solar panels (and especially storage batteries) have been in the process of being developed since the 60's. Hybrids are looking more and more like a flash in the pan than the next big thing...and I know its just me...but I simply dont have a whole lot of confidence in ANYTHING the fed gets its paws into.
BTW...I was tweakin at ya, not picking a fight...Im mellowing in my old age!
You'd think if there was that large a demand their marketing people would do a better job of purchasing. If its anything like our local grown market, they have the occasional run on a given product but they end up throwing out more 'organics' than they sell.

I've been in grocery stores like that. I currently live in a fairly liberal area though with a lot of disposable income. Whole Foods does well.
