No worries..Obama will save them, too...

If I was in that state I would not pay another state tax.

Sounds like Sebelius is breaking the law. I'll bet she wishes she was part of Obamateur Hour's cabinet right about now.

But she's not. Which suggests that--until now--she didn't have a problem with income taxes.

That's a great angle, if you think about it. Demtards don't pay their taxes. And even if they occasionally do, they don't want you to get your refund.

Good thing for Larry he's not working and wasn't expecting a refund.

Right, and just how would you accomplish that?

Moneywar may actually get away with it. He could just provide them with his posts here at the retort, and the IRS would realize he's retarded and cut him some slack.

AGREED

Anyone that lives in Kansas, credit your 2008 refund to 2009 and reduce your state withholdings accordingly for 2009.

I live in Calif, I should have done that. Hindsight is 20/20.

Chickenrancher,

There is still time to adjust your withholding down to what 2008 tax actually was. That way there is no overpayment of 2009 taxes.

This is what happens when you let socialist leftist pieces of shit run your economy. I pray an earthquake kills everyone in that state.

-Jak Se Mao AKA Unfrozen Caveman Rancher.

Now we're seeing the best reason why people should make sure they are not having more withheld then they owe. Stop trying to use the government as a temporary savings account every year. They don't even pay interest! I'd much rather keep as much as I can without paying penalties and write them a check on April 15th.

Start demanding payment in gold or silver. The US dollar tanked again!

This is a warning about the risks of using tax withholding as a means of saving. The only safe way is to adjust withholding so you owe them at tax time.

Rightisright - Sebelius had done intra-fund transfers before. As had (Republican) Graves before her. Pretty much an annual phenomenon in the month or two before April 15th.

The legality questions are interesting. But, they're mostly playing games because Sebelius is being shopped for jobs in DC.

Kansas is a backwards state no doubt about that.

Larry

New Jersey did something like that once. It was an election year so they held on the the refunds until October. They didn't film the Soprano's here for nothing.

As goes CA --so goes the rest of the country.

Kansas is a backwards state no doubt about that.

As a fellow resident of Kansas (not by choice; my dad just died of cancer so I'm back helping pick up the pieces), I fully endorse this statement.

Quite fittingly, Topukea KS is arguably the most screwed up of them all.

We've had some truly strange superlatives throughout the years - we had Brown v. Board; we've got that wonderful fellow the Rev. Phelps (his "compound" is located fewer than 3 miles away from here); the Topeka zoo was the first to breed bald eagles in captivity (or so they claim); finally - apparently one of our Taco Bells was the highest-grossing franchise in the country for at least one year.

Oh, yeah, and apparently we've been in competition for the #1 spot in per-capita violent crimes for a number of years (although we may have dropped out of the running recently).

Good times here in the asshole of Dumbfuckistan.

It sounds like you have a lot of Mexicans.

You should move to a more enlightened, blue-state place.

Like Detriot-City.

Jeff and/or Tiny Dancer...

I have a question.

Do people in Michigan refer to it as "Detroit" or "Detroit City"?

Mao,

Do people in Michigan refer to it as "Detroit" or "Detroit City"?

These days, it's referred to as "Detroit".

I haven't heard the term "Detroit City" in over 25 years.

Some people call it "Motor City" or "Mo-Town".

Some call it "Shit-hole", but that isn't really fair.

Some even call it "HockeyTown".

Mao,

Here's another Michigan anecdote for you:

Any geographical area in the state located north of Saginaw is often simply referred to as "Up North".

Alex, aka 'Tiny Dancer' can surely attest to this.

It sounds like you have a lot of Mexicans.

-----

Don't know if this was directed at me or not, but I'll go ahead and take this one anyway.

Yes, this is true - but for whatever reason we Topukeans keep most/all of our Mexicans, blacks, and other minorities neatly segregated on the east side of town. Our truly gritty backwood-redneck-types seem to stay further out of town where the buses don't run (as if we had a "real" public transit system - lol). Can't say I know how this happened, but that's how it is.

However, if it weren't for my dad finishing his residency, and subsequently working at
Menninger's (back in the day when it was *the* place to be if you were in the mental healthcare field), who knows where I might be today.

But - I survived at Topeka High School throughout my most impressionable years (mostly by hiding away in honors/AP classes and being scared to death of the mari-ju-ana). I have my parents to thank for this, as they gave me innumerable outstanding opportunities.

Even if that doesn't sound like much to the outsider, I consider it to be an accomplishment. Too many classmates lost to uselessness, drugs/alcohol, crime, gang violence, etc...

tl;dr: Stay the hell away from Topeka KS!

I have been to Topeka a few times for work. I remember meeting a girl that was employed as a stripper in Topeka and Emporia. She made for good company. I also ended up going to the best buy in Topeka.

I haven't heard the term "Detroit City" in over 25 years.

Eminem had a song calling it detroit-city.

We have a lot to apologize to the world for, don't we? ICP, Eminem, Madonna, Ted Nugent...

I personally don't see any redeeming value in 3/4 you have listed.

HOWEVER - although I'm not at all into rap/hiphop/whatever, I REALLY admire Eminem for his willingness to speak his mind and tell anyone who doesn't like what he says to go fuck themselves.

He's got just as much of a right to say whatever crosses his mind as anyone else in this country; I'm glad various touchy-feely PC groups haven't been able to shut him up.

He pisses off both the right and the left, and I think it's absolutely hysterical when someone starts BAWWWWWing over what some nasty rapper said in his latest track.

As often as people try to categorize him into this-or-that naughty group, he just won't fit.

Juvenile, dirty, foul-mouthed, etc...yes, he is all of the above. I think he's been quite callous in dealing with touchy PC subjects such as homosexuals, and others.

However, he also happens to be very talented at what he does - like it or not.

ICP and Madonna can fuck right off, though.

hmm may have contradicted myself a little bit in my previous post, but it's 3.15 AM...

maybe he was mean to some gay people, but they shouldn't get so butt-hurt (no pun intended) over what some rapper they will never meet thinks of their group in general.

Everyone needs to wear some thicker skin, IMHO...

You forgot "The D".

Hey, do me a favor and next time you see a Phelps Zombie.

Do what is best for zombies.

Club them unmercifully in the head with a tire iron.

Also. yes. Kansas has a long history of breeding religious crazies.

It goes all the way back to the wars between the anti slavery and pro slavery factions before the civil war.

House Speaker Mike O'Neal: "While we all can agree that these are trying times for Kansas families, seniors and business owners, the Kansas House of Representatives respectfully disagrees with breaking the law in order to gain political capital."

Says the man who makes the laws...to bad he cant own up and pay hard working people instead of making a political tool of himself and the people who work for the state.

Kansas was a Free State. Ain't history a bitch.
