how anyone can spew such hatred...

In Reply to: My taxes pay for your child - Justme

I will never know. If we were talking about someone not working for a living and living off the system, maybe, but the OP referred to tax credits in place to help those who work hard and take care of a child/family.

The earned income credit is directly proportionate to what that individual earned that particular year. Therefore, they are not taking money out of anyone else's pocket, just getting to keep a little more of what they worked hard to earn.

I hate this self-pitying everyone is getting my money crap that some people spew about others who get something back that they earned to begin with. What is wrong with someone getting to keep some of their own money?

Good - Find someone else to spew your venom at
You must really have a heart on for LandMark the way you jumped all over MY post when there are a few posts in this thread that said the same thing I did about companies going to VR. I said NOTHING NEGATIVE about LandMark.

You're obviously someone with a shell of a life who has nothing better to do than LOOK for reasons to start internet squabbles to make yourself feel superior in that delusional little world you've carved out for yourself, probably eating en and Jerry's by the quart and rarely seeing the light of day.

I feel sorry for you.

Do yourself a favor and step away from keyboard and get some sunlight on occasion. Perhaps you're lacking in vitamin D.

No, and that's my point - you now have hatred
major anger issues over this topic, and it does make no sense. I'm not a subcontractor and would never work for one personally, unless they had something to offer that the major MTSO couldn't. I could care less, but there is definitely a need for them or they wouldn't be thriving and successful. They are not successful because of devious measures. They are successful because the MTSOs need them and they fill a void. And yes, your anger is misplaced. Subcontractors are doing what they do, and if you are angry at them, it makes no sense. The anger should be at the MTSO who is using subs and letting them make $. We are a business - our industry - with all the levels of players, just like any other industry. You are just keeping yourself stuck in an unhappy place by carrying on so about something over which you have no control. And if you don't like the wages offered by subs, then don't work for them. Its very odd and yes, for you, its sad. I'm not sad - its actually probably more amusing to me at this point. Baffling, as an entire page is taken up with thoses obviously wanting to fight about subcontractors, or I suspect 1 in particular, as there are lots more than the 1 woman at Trans Dr, yet she seems to be the #1 mark here. So, if you had the goal of making her life miserable this weekend, I'll bet you accomplished that. But arguing about the industry position of subcontractors as a whole, well, you just don't have much to argue about there. It is what it is, as somebody said about 3 days ago. Work for one or don't. No big deal at all. It is what it is.

Isn't the nastiness and hatred unreal? And
yet we are supposed to fall for the sweet-as-sugar posts about a company and believe that info, when the same poster can turn on a dime and go for your jugular. No thanks! The drama just does not interest me! And all sugar coated on top with an LOL! Really makes one wonder...
