[QUOTE="Mike_60, post: 1985951, member: 16957"] I would suspect the answer would be yes to both questions. Should you be penalized for the rest of your life? I can’t answer that, because it would entirely depend on the mistakes you made and the law. But no matter how bad the mistakes are, there are things one can do to better themselves. Improving one’s lot in life should be a continuing effort and not just a onetime spurt (I’m not just talking financial either). Generally, folks at times do need some help for whatever reason, and that is why the tax was instituted to begin with. Personally, my problem with freebie programs is not the fact we have them, but the way they tend to be administered. Some simply do not help give people a hand up and off the system, but actually encourage greater dependence. That isn’t fair to them or the tax payer. The cell phone program actually started during the Bush years and was expanded by the Obama FCC. [/QUOTE]
