• Government Takes Not Gives

    "Well I didn't actually get to buy anything. Social Services took my refund because they said I owed them money. Why? Because apparently when I was 17 I came into some stock and they failed to notice it until last year. Hell I didn't even know I had it there. Now they are taking my taxes and whatever else because they said I lied. If I knew I had money there, then I wouldn't have had to apply for federal help to help support me and my children. I think its messed up that they knew about my stock and waited until last year to come after me. I am going to fight this!"

  • Lori, my heart goes out to you...I will pray for your well deserved victory. This, from a gay activist of many years (here in SF) who happened to stumble onto your poignant appeal, because the Sunday paper's technology article contained a link to "How I Spent My Stimulus". Many blessings upon you and amazing children.
