HELP CHANGE THIS LAW!!! This is a serious issue. The law states that if you owe back property taxes for more than 2 years the third year the city you live in takes your home and kicks you out! No matter how much you owe wether it be a thousand dollars or a couple of thousand, if you can't come up with the money to pay it off your out in the street. How is this fair?? Especially when the value of your home is worth far more??? I heard of an elderly woman who couldn't pay her taxes and she lost her home! This law is totally unfair! There are other ways to punish people. What right does the city have to take your home and turn around and sell it??? They didn't pay for the home. The American Dream of owning your own home is a nightmare! worrying if you will have the money to pay your property taxes, worrying if your going to lose your home to the city. How is that a way to live????

We have no deductions to take on our taxes because our kids have moved out and started their lives. We have no breaks. It is an issue. It costs as much for electricity, water, rent, house payment, car payment, car insurance, home insurance, food, gas to get to work, as it does anyone. After no deductions to take in this economy with lesser paying jobs there needs to be a tax break. And needs to be a change in FAFSA on income guidelines.

There should be a tax credit for parents who still are helping thier young adult children who are not attending school and do not make a wage to become indepentent in this economy. Corporations do not pay non-college person a fair wage. Not every person can attend school. People have things happen in their lives that they cannot afford or attend college. Like my daughter who at 20 became pregnant and discided to become a mother rather than abort her child. Why should they be on welfare and food stamps??? I beleive if there was a tax credit for parents of young adults who are helping with money for food , rent, clothing maybe these young adults can get off of welfare. I am a single 51 year old who has helped my daughter and grandson all year. I have also helped my son. These young adults are having a hard time finding their independace with this economy. As a parent what ever I can do to help them I will. But just did my taxes. I have no detuctions and have to pay NY state . My federal return is not good also.

Since our federal government is not a business that must balance its budget, but rather a sovereign state that can create any amount of fiat currency, need never borrow, and can never become insolvent, we are limited only by time, material, labor, and productive capacity and not by a lack of dollars so that our problem is not an excess of necessary federal spending but an excess of unnecessary federal borrowing. The Federal Reserve System and the Treasury have used this procedure on a massive scale with enormous success. To finance World War II, the Fed pegged Treasury bonds at an almost-zero interest rate and bought as many bonds as Treasury needed to pay the nation’s wartime salaries. After the war, consumers spent their savings on homes and cars, starting 35 years of prosperity without harmful inflation.

HOW TO: Reduce spending, create jobs and increase revenue.

Illinois' pension-fund shortfall is by far the largest in the nation. Simply put, Illinois' unfunded pension liability is massive. Democratic Gov. Pat Quinn says the $96 billion of liability has been accumulating for decades, with the state's pension problems dating back at least 70 years. "There have been 12 governors, 13 speakers of the House and 13 presidents of the Senate that have come and gone, and the issue has kind of confounded our predecessors," he says. Over those many years, Illinois' teachers, state troopers, university professors and other state employees have been paying their share, contributing about 8 to 12 percent out of every paycheck to their pension funds. But the state hasn't. Illinois' governors and lawmakers have frequently shortchanged the pension systems. They've even skipped some pension payments altogether so they could more freely spend on things more popular with the voters, such as schools, highways, health care and prisons. The result, says Quinn, is a huge pension shortfall that is growing bigger by the day."Our liability every day goes up by $17 million, so we've got to deal with this," he says.

In the state of TN, Certified Nursing Assistants are very underpaid! We have the hardest job in the nursing field. We are more hands on than any LPN or RN. We deal with the mess. When the patient is nonresponsive 9 times out of 10 we are the ones who find them. Patient to CNA ratio is 1 to 15 patients or more. That is why it is poor patient care in nursing home facilities
