Can you name a single primarily psychopathic society to provide even anecdotal experimental evidence for your claim? Theory is nice and all, but is notoriously inapplicable to human behavior.
That's the point, isn't it? There are no primarily psychopathic societies because they are unsuccessful -- they die out too quickly to create records.
He's on the opposite side of the political spectrum as the source you have issues with, and is an authority in places ot know such things, *and* he said this stuff under oath to Congress.
The IRS is *very* clear on this. The children must have SSNs and must have lived in the USA. So, even if they get SSNs for the children, unless the children were actually in the USA for those years, it would still be tax fraud.
Incidentally, you clearly are concerned about the credibility of your original source, because I did not disagree with you based on the source of the information, instead, I disagreed with you on the *content* and *gasp* I compared it with the advice that the IRS and other organizations give on this topic. But I'll let you into a clue. A publication that quotes someone with "an unindicted co-conspirator in the cover-up
So I looked at the page you referenced and all the commisioner stated was that amnestied aliens would be able to amend prior filings. All that stuff about kids -- that came from the (obviously biased) author of the article.
But even more, you were not able to accurately read the article, since it gives an example where the credit would be clearly fraudulent -- the claimed-for children were not in the USA.
The ACTC is a fully refundable credit of up to $1,000 per child to help working families who have children at home.
Problem is, that home may not be here, but back in Mexico, and the children claimed are often nieces and nephews in what are often rather large extended families. An investigation done in 2012 by NBC affiliate WTHR in Indianapolis found four workers claiming 20 children living in one residence, with the IRS sending these aliens tax refunds totaling $29,608. The children did not in fact reside in the United States.
This is over-hyped BS.
Yes, the amnestied immigrant may get some tax credits, based on his/her newly-aquired SSN. However his/her foreign children won't be able to get a SSN, without which one cannot claim EITC.
So, yes, there are probably a few cases where these large tax credits will be available, but not the vast numbers breathlessly reported.

Money transfer requires me to insert the debit card into a card reader, give it the correct PIN and then allow the card reader to process a number provided by the website (website gives me the number, I enter it into card reader, which then replies with a new number. I enter that number into the website.
Well, you know, when everyone has a problem with you, the problem isn't everyone. The problem is you.
So you are blaming the GP poster for being bullied? There is a word for people who blame victims like that: bullies.
Clearly, you haven't worked in tech support, or known anyone who has, or read any of the blogs or horror stories, or, really, informed yourself in any way about this. Humans have a bell curve of both "crazy" and "mean", and the tail end of either is not something you'd ever want to come into contact with.
It's the *job* of the people who work in call centers to deal with these people. That's what they are paid for. Do you think that plumbers like dealing with pipes full of human waste? No, but it's their job to do so occasionally.
Yes, I goofed. However, believing that 11.4 years is what you'll get in practice is also naive,
Not, it's not your basic conversion error that's the problem.
A MTBF of 11.4 years does not mean that a typical array will have a lifetime of 11.4 years. From Wikipedia:
You are conflating "useful life period" with MTBF. They measure different things.
mean time to failure (MTTF) of 100,000 hours.
100,000 hours = 273 years. Does anyone believe that?
You don't understand the meaning of MTBF.
So I tried to view the PDF, and it says "can't use the plugin, it causes problems on our server".
Maybe they have problems with their disk array?
But seriously, I had no problems downloading the document from the orginal site.
Yeah, it was Texas where that happened, not California, right?
Yeah, it was California where employees were able to sue employers for such collusion. Good luck with that in some other states, where what Apple, Google, etc. did is just business as usual.
They have the stupidest, most intrusive laws that negatively impact every other state.
You are welcome to your state where a lack of laws allows employers to restrict your opportunities to change jobs. Yeah, welcome to your overlords who use the lack employee protection to push your income down.
NOTHING is going to happen in California. Their budget is a joke. They have a double digit sales tax rate and the biggest deficit out of every state
Perhaps you should come up to date on California's budget situation. Even if California had the biggest deficit in the past, California has the largest economy of any state, by a wide margin, making everything relating to finances bigger in California than any other state.
California doesn't even have the highest sales tax rate.
I assume that the plane was rerouted on a pretty much direct route from where they were to Atlanta. They'd want to make sure that the airplane stayed over relatively unpopulated areas in the event of an explosion.
And if it strays off its assigned route? Do you really think they are going to shoot it down?
