My problem with that? What ****ing country is this? [/qb][/QUOTE]I would think it would be discussed here: http://www.factcheck.org/2009/08/twenty-six-lies-about-hr-3200/ but I don't see it. I see "a fine" or "a tax," but nothing about jail. [/qb][/QUOTE]What happens when you don't pay a fine? [/qb][/QUOTE]depends. traffic tickets? even for goofy chit, you can easily wind up in a jail situation. Around here? There's been times when I would surrender myself and work off $400+ fines in a dayandahalf. The worst part? I read all their books, except romances--a man's gotta draw line, somewhere. Zoning/code compliance? Depends where you live. In my old 'hood, we had a nutball-sourpuss that would study the code and call in on anybody that didn't have regulation kickstands on bicycles. Plus, the dept. "mailed" out tickets. Totally without due process. Consequently, I totally wadded 'em up and ignored 'em. That chit simply *goes away.* Seriously, this would be federal, I guess, (or some combo of state/federal) so you're talking IRS and somewhere in the neighborhood of student loans. At the income levels we're talking about, I can't think of a single case of poor folks slammed into jail time over an IRS bill. And there's certainly no jail time over student loans. In fact, some of the student-loan originators could stand a lil' scrutiny themselves. What would happen--most likely--is sumpin like this: Instead of getting, say, $1,000 refund with Earned Income Credit factored in, you'd only get an $80 refund. Now, that's totally offa the top of my head as far as figures go. But the principle's sound--our problem is the principals. [/QB][/QUOTE]
