My husband is a teacher and does not pay for his own health insurance out of his own pocket. You could make the argument that he pays for it indirectly via lower pay than the private sector. Maybe it is different by district?
What I find ludicrous is that the government sees it fit to protect my lungs in public places that I can CHOOSE to patronize (or not), but not in my own condo where I have little choice in the short term.
45 right there. 55 a quarter of a mile to the east.
Actually this may not be a smart move for Republicans. More births to single mom's could mean more people public aid. I would think that people who rely on public aid probably are going to vote for the candidate that will provide public aid. And since Democrats are the ones who stereotypically are for the aid while Republicans are stereotypically against it (or at least for less), this could mean more votes for the Democrats. Actually, maybe Democrats should think about using this strategy too. Brilliant!
PS - Please notice the hint of sarcasm. I am an Independent because I do not appreciate either party.
What is up with all of these Republican bills to limit our freedoms? I thought that was the job of Democrats.
Sincerely,
Fed up with politics in Iowa
Actually prostitution is taxed... you have to report ALL income regardless of its source.
The tax stamp is there so that the IRS can make sure it gets their cut of sales revenue... and even if charges are dropped in a criminal case, the IRS can still bring up a case in tax court.
Of course saying "No" isn't dramatic, but calling it hearbreaking to say "No" to a cruise is dramatic in my opinion. Now if your child was hungry and you had to say "No" to dinner, I think that warrants the drama of "heartbreaking". I guess we will have to agree to disagree on what exactly is heatrbreading - but it is probably in your kids' best interest to have to say "No" sometimes.
I hope for the best for your family's future.
Yes actually you did say it was "heartbreaking" according to KCRG. I copied this from above where they have it in quotation marks indicating a direct quote, but did not indicate which of you said it. Did KCRG make this up then?
“It’s heartbreaking when we sit here and the Nickelodeon Cruise (commercial) comes on. ‘Can we do that next summer?’ one will ask and I’m like, ‘probably not’.”
Ya, but "hearbreaking" not being able to go on a cruise. Come on - isn't that just a bit too dramatic? I certainly feel for your need for satisfaction through work though and hope things get better for you soon.
