The United States has something called the Earned Income Credit, it is basically this. If you make a small enough amount of money and you file taxes, you can get more money back then you paid in. The more kids you have, the more...

debbie4824 I can understand that, but at the same point, if we have people that truly need assistance, we should update our welfare system to help them. Using our income tax system for it is just not a good idea, there is no true "check" on whether it goes to someone who...

I really don't like taxes and all of the Big Brother things that Uncle Sam likes to impose on us. Every once in awhile I will do something little that makes me feel like I am getting back at them. For instance, if I know I will be...

debbie4824 Changing your withholdings doesn't affect how much tax you owe. All it does is change the amount taken out of the paycheck. At the end of the year, your W2 income goes on your tax return and you pay tax. As long as you break even or get a refund there's no...

It all depends on who the Haitian is working with. I can only think of two possibilities. One, the Haitian is taking her to Linderman - which means either he's betraying bennett or Linderman is not fully in charge of that...

debbie4824 I don't think it will be a matter of betrayal. What we need to remember is that the entire plot of Heroes has been following the "It's a Small World" plot, i.e. everyone seems to be connected to everyone else in some way. Obviously Linderman will be a huge...

debbie4824 I don't really want songs for the baby at this point, more for the parents, but the particular songs you listed are good, i'd forgotten about Butterfly Kisses. I'll have to check out the others as I haven't heard them. Thanks for your help!

How would you compare the actors' handling of their character in LOTR with the way they were in other movies they appeared in? For example, Viggo Mortensen looked very much different as Aragorn and as the rider of Hidalgo. I...

debbie4824 I love this topic :) Viggo - He was incredibly good looking as Aagorn but I honestly think he just does not have a good look in other movies I've seen him in. Outside of looks, I also think his acting was better in LOTR. Maybe he just identified with the...

debbie4824 What you have to remember is that LOTR was actually three very detailed and lengthy novels that were turned into 3 movies, so while it may seem that they took more time to convert the book to movie, it was actually less when you compare the length of the...

debbie4824 Now see, I do enjoy Will Smith. I think for a rapper turned actor, he's remarkable. I haven't necessarily seen all of his movies so maybe there's one out there that stinks and I'm just not thinking of it. Hitch was not nearly as funny as I thought it would...

debbie4824 The Shawshank Redemption. I unfortunately did not get to see it in the theater. This movie is just incredibly well made, good direction, great casting, strong storyline. If anyone has not watched it, trust me on this one!

debbie4824 When they die, that's one thing, but these days, they don't wait to die, they are using their name to earn income while they are still alive and able to write. James Patterson, Tom Clancy (as mentioned below) are just a few of the worst offenders. I...
