I have heard rumors that Joe has lost his job. Is this just a rumor, or is it truth?
Can someone verify?

Joe may well have paid his back taxes.

I understand from a neighbor, who had a lien against him for back taxes, that the gubmint is not in any hurry to remove the lien after the taxes are paid.

“Maybe not, but I understand welfare when I see it. This is just privatized welfare.”

Caustic, and logic impaired. You must be fun at parties?

Here’s a clue, and I know you don’t want it, “privatized welfare” is commonly known as chairity. It’s people helping each other. That’s what normal people do. It’s voluntariy, and it helps both the giver, and the recipient.

What next? Are you going to go to churches and berate people for putting money in the collection plate?

Very true. I had a disputed income tax with Ohio that resulted in a lien being placed against me. When I realized that they held all of the cards and I could not win, I paid what they said that I owed.

Five years later when I bought a new house, the lien was still on the record. I had to go back to the state AGAIN and prove to them that I had paid this tax for the 2nd time and they needed to remove the lien. That took another 3 months to resolve.

Oh, did I mention that Betty Montgomery can kiss my posterior.

Sorry you had such trouble. The deck is always stacked against the little guy.

Several fundraising efforts have been set up for the McSherrystown man who was thrown out the back window of his home after a vehicle crashed through the front wall in September.

****You say something that the establishment doesn’t like****

If you would have said this in the 60’s you would be talking about republicans for the most part. The evil marxist baby boomers have turned it all around. They are now the “establishment” and are hardcore marxist dems. They have never understood that government always ends up getting in the way of great societies even as that is what they were railing against.

***The Joe I saw will hit you with a pipe wrench if you offer charity to him.***

Then he’ll refuse to accept it and our contributions will be refunded, right? No biggie.

The left consists of nothing but bastards, sons of female dogs, scum and dirt. This man dared to question the Great One, The Messiah, and immediately leftist operatives (I.E. reporters) are down at the town hall looking to see what they can see about his property; the tax assessors are hunting through their records; the reporters are sticking microphones in his face; the registrar of business licenses is checking on him. I wouldn’t be surprised if the IRS, a well-known leftist organization, is checking their records and will leak information in violation of this man’s privacy to the media. Are they checking to see if his dogs are licensed? His car registration up to date? Are leftist operatives even now furtively pawing through dental records?

You see what happens when you oppose the leftist establishment.

Step aside. We grownups were debating.

It’s not meant as an insult. It’s meant as showing our full support for him and what he (and we) believe in.

Besides, he’ll need all the cash he can get his hands on to defend himself and his family from the fascist Zeros.

Has anyone bothered to ask Joe about this? If it were me, I wouldn’t want strangers (not that freepers are strange) doing this as it would be kind of embarassing. It may be a little invasive of his privacy.

After it is open please post the routing and account info so we can transfer money in.

Were you born in Nigeria? ;-)

I'm sending him a check, but let me and the other FReepers know if you represent him.

Good Lord, embarass The Obama and you get your life ruined.

No decent American should let this stand.

He put himself in this situation. Let him use his own wits to get out of it.

Tipping Hillary's waitress is one thing. This is just plain dumb.

Interesting.

I think Joe has done much more for Conservatism in the US than Hillary's waitress was able to do.

I'm not sure how to look at this. While I would like to support Joe simply for putting up with all the attacks, I don't think he'd take it.

What a strange election.

See, that's the part that bothers me.

Welfare, to me, is the government stealing my money to give to someone too lazy to work. That is theft. Legalized theft.

Charity is when I decide to give money or help to someone, of my own free will.

The thing is, Joe would see it as charity, and I think he would be too proud to accept it.

Any donations would be taxable income for him......

I am not familiar with your laws in this regard.

If I were to give you $20, do you have to declare it as income?

Check Glen’s page out...he’s a computer geek. Probably never gets out of the IT shop for any social life.
