Shouldn't BOTH parents get a tax expemption for the children

[Ken King]

Hippiechick,

My post was to this question, "Since both parents are supporting their children, shouldn't they both get a tax break at the end of the year?" which you started the thread with.  I also commented on what Vraiblonde had stated regarding costs.  Now the site Mom has busted you for being your own fan club, tsk tsk tsk.  

Also checking back through the thread the only time you mention a “record” of any payments was in that last reply.  Also it is the first time you mention “garnish” as well.  I guess I must have to read your mind to find our what it is you actually meant.  

If the tax I talked about was in place there wouldn’t be a need to have an exemption at all because you would only pay taxes when you purchase something.  You want to change one specific of a problem for you and by doing so it only creates additional problems or bureaucracy to manage the monster your desire would become.

Vrai: I'm just trying to bolster my rating, since I figured out my original password, thanks to y'all! Please forgive me...

Tax deductions for children were put in place to help defer the cost of raising children. I think it's a very wise choice on the part of the government simply because without more children, there is not much future for our country. Right?

As to who should get the break in a divorce situation, or should both get it in a "fine, upstanding American white bread family", my feeling is easy. One child = one exemption for one parent. Whether you are divorced or together, the cost to raise a child is the same. And that will probably generate a lot of negative responses, but it is true. Think about it.

Regardless of where the money is coming from, the cost of clothes and food and toys and DAMAGE! (you know what I'm talking about) is the same regardless of divorce or marriage. The little bast*rds cost money! The government has already done their part.

If two divorced people feel that they are getting shorted on the support/custody end, then maybe it's time for those people to reach down, get a grip, and pull their ears out. (nod to C's Dad) That is between the two parents, not the child, the parent and the IRS.

And for those who DO have custody and want more money I ask: "What price do you charge (or pay) when you here from your child 'I love you.' "
Or how much for a smile, a giggle, a laugh?

First of all I am not sure what you meant by that But I did not come in here anyone else outside of me. No need to dear. grow up

 

[Ken King]

Hippiechick,

You say "grow up", I'm fairly grown thank you.  Why don't you go back to smoking that reefer, spliff, doobie, joint, or whatever you call it these days.  Your writing is showing the affects it is having on your ability to have a cognizant thought.

 

[hippiechick]

First of all I work for the Maryland state governement and would participate in the use of illeagal drugs. I was responding to miss vriablond on her feeble attempt of going of the subject.  yet some hoe steve responded. hmmm.

Miss vriablond I am sorry that your husband left you, and I applaud you being a single parent. I do not agree with your opinion. I have seen what is is like for the other parent too many times. Not all absent parents are bad.
I have seen one woman struggle very hard making ends meet and at the end of the year pay money she didn't have to the IRS. She is a wonderful person tha works in our office;the children decided to stay with the father because of growing up in the neigborhood and the schools. Yet, she is with them on a daily basis and gives everything she can. I think she deserves a break and no her ex hubby is not all the generous. He hopes if she suffers enough she will come crawling back.

that is just a few stories I have seen. I am not sure what you are talking about steve as far as the taxes. If you could explain that to me a little more.

If I am understanding that then neither parent would have a deduction?
Concider all the tax deductions that the IRS allows now, travel expense for the job, write offs on the homes and cars, donations just to menetion a few. I still think that by allowing the parent that is Paying the child support and trying their best to support thier families should get some relief.

Maybe... and I am saying mabe that might cut down the Deadbeat parents not paying..

 

[hippiechick]

A correction to my last post I do NOT use illegal drugs.
Also soometimes it does cost more to support a child when there are to different homes involved. Not always but you have to figure that now two homes are being manitained whereas there was one being supported by both parents. If being supported by both parents then both parents should be able to get some kind of help.

Ken,
I think your post shows who is having a problem, if you do not understand what I am trying to say then simply ask and I will try to explain in a different way. I have been a Deputy Clerk for the State of Maryland many years and for you to make such a immature statement without realy knowing me is not a good show on your part. If you would like, we could meet one day for lunch and discuss this on a more personal level, but I am not having a childish arguement with someone that does not know me or a person who is not not even trying to HEAR wht I am saying. You do not have to read my mind just try to listen and see another persons view on things. You know the whole picture?

 

[Ken King]

Hippiechick,

If I was somewhere to hear you talk I would listen, but we are reading each others thoughts and yours aren't very clear, at least in the written format.  My statement was based on this inability of yours to communicate in the written format combined with your handle and my knowledge of the era when hippies were abundant(remember, sex, drugs, and rock and roll).  As a Deputy Clerk you should be required to communicate effectively both orally and in writing.  Maybe you are just better orally.  One thing that might assist you is if you are talking to a single person address the post that way so anyone else would know who you are talking to.  As to who is having a problem I believe it is obvious in some of your posts that you don’t have a clue as to what it costs the custodial parent to raise the child or children that the other has lost custody of.  You also don’t have any concept of an alternate tax system, much less the one we currently are subjected to and the unfairness of that system.   I guess you are right about one thing, that being it is useless to attempt to discuss it with you.

 

[hippiechick]

Ken,
I am amazed at your feeble attempt to save face. What I do not understand is what you think you are going to accomplish from your childish banter. On and On you go. I work not only with Judges and Attorneys and they have never had a problem with my comminication in any form.

As far as the tax laws maybe you can explain them to me at lunch, as I suggested earlier.  I do not know what why you continue to haunt a forum or troll it, perhaps lack of anything better to do. I can tell you this, by reading your posts it shows that you are trying to prove you are somehow better than you reqally are.

 

[hippiechick]

As far as my my typing with my right arm in a cast I am amazed that I can write anything at all. What I do write anybody can follow.

I feel so sorry for you, Ken if this is all you have to make your life seem important. Just lurking there waiting for someone to write back at you so you have someone to talk to, or argue with to make yourself feel that someone out there is paying attention to you.

How very sad indeed.
But, to prove my point I am sure you will have a witty reply just waiting.

Till then

 

[Ken King]

Hippycrit,

I am not attempting to save face and I didn't try to change the subject.  As you are doing here.  You are just one stupid cow.

 

[hippiechick]

Ken,

What I first noticed is the fact of how you missed the details or little bits of information in my posts and then made a complete a$$ of yourself by trying so hard to masquerade your own inadequacies. You have the balderdash audacity to make judgement on my written skills yet your posts displays so many grammar, punctuation and text errors in them I could not even began to count.  You are nothing more than an delusional individual with many personal issues including a personality disorder . I shudder to think a person like you living in my community and work place as God Knows what.

If you feel so strongly again I extend an open invitation to meet with me and finish this discussion on a one on one basis.

You are simply wasting my time trying to save face on the internet hiding behind a computer.

BTW
On behalf of many of my co-workers, they would like to thank you for such a good laugh at our office. But What do they know? They are only Attorneys and Masters of the court.

Just let me know when you would like to come so I can make the necessary arrangements at the security posts.

hippiechick,

Sounds like another great way for everyone else to pay more taxes….no thanks.  

 

[Ken King]

Hippiebitch,

Enlighten me if you can on what little bits I missed, were these what you provided after I had made my responses, like I should be able to read that little pea you call a mind.  The only a$$
that has been obvious on these forums is yours and it sure must be a big based on how grand your stupid replies are.   Grammatical errors, where are they for an informal letter such as this, I guess you have a major in literature also as you are a deputy clerk.  

I have no desire to meet a simpleton such as you.  I have better things to do then explain my position on a tax system that would be fair and equitable for all to someone whining and sniveling about two households wanting to claim the same dependent.  In other words seeking to obtain special benefit.

So the attorneys and Masters of the Courts are your co-workers, seems to me based on the title of your position you are subservient to them and they are not co-workers but superiors or customers.  Is your comment supposed to impress me or something?  It doesn’t, I work hand in hand with many graduates and post-graduates,  some at the doctorate level, is that suppose to impress people?  I don’t think so, what impresses those I work with are my knowledge and skills, something I am sure you are unfamiliar with.

Finally, you said, “You are simply wasting my time trying to save face on the internet hiding behind a computer. “  Well lets see, I use my real name and not a pseudonym, I have no interest in saving face as I have not lost any, and I definitely don’t hide from anyone much less behind my PC.  

 

[hippiechick]

Ken,

Blah blah blah.
Is that all you do?
I will be glad to introduce myself in person.

Blah, blah, blah.

 

[hippiechick]

What I am wondering is.... if you are what you say you are then why Ken are you wasting so much time trying to justify yourself? Wouldn't responding to some idiot like myself be beneath you?

You are so pathetic, There is really nothing I have to say to prove how pathetic you are...you are doing a fine job yourself.  We anticipate your response.

If you don't want to waste time meeting me in person , then why spend so much time defending yourself here?

Oh one more thing....
Blah, blah blah.
dumba$$

 

[SxyPrincess]

Hippie,

Whoa!!!!!   Did you forget to pick your wedgie before you got up this morning?  And to call someone a dumba$$-- What's up with that????  

 

[hippiechick]

Darn
One last thing Ken. I do have in the very least a BA. As far as My co-workers that is how we see each other.

Why don't you leave a number or inform me where you are located and I will be glad to make the trip.
