This may be best handled by an expert. Look for somebody recommended by a church, homeless shelter, food pantry, office of unemployment, office of disability,  or Veterans services to advise you on maximizing support for your father.  You want to know what type of help you can give without causing the overall level of support to drop. You may even find there are other avenues of assistance.
"Lots of webcomic sites now have ""tip jar"" links, or let supporters send money via services like Patrion. I presume other kinds of sites have developed similar solutions. I'd suggest you go out, wander the web a bit looking for such, then contact the sites' owners to ask how it's been working for them"
When I was contracting I wish I had joined a tax efficient umbrella organisation rather than just work as a sole trader. I also wish I had put money aside to pay my taxes rather than just spend it all. :(
Which sucks.  I'm a liberal gun owner, and I'd love to support the NRA because I want to support gun rights... but I just cant bring myself to do it since I'm directly funding the campaigns of a bunch of republicans I disagree with on... well... everything else.
You forgot about the low income people. Check!  No, I will not let you know what Trump offer for low income families. I want you to check it yourself.  Trump is helping Low Income more than Middle and the Rich.  And the Rich hardly get any break. Check that too!
[Thanks for civility]  Your situation sounds very rough and I'm sorry for it,  truly I'm. This is a hard question to answer and would love to open a dialogue with people who are willing to actually listen/talk.   The question: How can we as a society help those in financial need?  Raising minimum wage? - Doesn't work as well proponents would like. Prices go up, people who used to make $ for the employer may not anymore thus is fired. (Burger flipper 1 makes the owner $11/hr, bf 2 makes $13/hr. Minimum wage goes up to $12 and suddenly bf1 no longer makes a profit and is let go)  UBI - Wouldn't work, it'll simply raise the costs of everything  Universal HC, food, car insurance, etc - It'll create lower quality products that are largely ineffective. Look at Canada   So how can we help without simply giving $ away in times of artificially raising wages, giving free money (UBI), or giving free stuff?  I really don't know the answer and i'm like to talk solutions
&gt;don't complain about other people offering jobs.  That's just senseless. If a corporation pays poverty wages that I am then required to subsidise through my taxes, then I am entitled to complain. As a society, we are foolish to allow any corporation to pay less than a living wage.

Yeah, that's what I meant when I said 'fellowships'... freemasons, oddfellows, that sort of thing... the sort of orders that inevitably get labelled as part of a conspiracy to take over the world by christians whenever they realize church attendance is down.
&gt; It would be hard to cut taxes in a way that didnt help the rich.   Cutting tax brackets that are *not the top tax bracket* is some kind of financial wizardry now?  I understand that still modestly cuts taxes for the rich, but good lord, this isn't complicated.
At the other end of the spectrum is the VICEX fund.  it invests in industries such as tobacco, gaming, defense/weapons, liquor and other companies whose products or services are widely considered not to be socially responsible
That's why it can't be left for taxpayer to decide. Everyone follows their narrow personal interests, even if that means the downfall of society. That is what governments are for, to watch out for the public interests of society as a whole.
If you do maintenance that effects both units, like fixing the roof, half will be deductible, the other half not. However, maintenance that only affects the tenant unit is fully deductible. You can claim depreciation, but only for half. So, your starting amount you can depreciate would be (purchase price - land value)/2. Same thing here - half is your home, the other half is a business. Note that some things you'd think of as maintenance costs actually can't be deducted, only depreciated over time. Take that leaky roof, for example. If you replaced it instead of repairing it, you could not deduct your replacement costs. It counts as an improvement, and gets added to your cost-basis, where you depreciate it along with (half!) the house. If your tenant's refrigerator went out, and you replaced it, you couldn't deduct that either. However you can depreciate all of it on another schedule (seperate from home depreciation). If you repaired it instead, you can deduct all of it immediately. Taxes suck.
To make matters worse, if you pay the property tax your mother in law can't take the deduction either. You may be better off paying rent and having her handle the property correctly, as a rental.
I believe the answer is no, since your income from royalties and app sales would fall under FDAP income. (another conformation of this would be the fact that Apple and Google requested a W8-BEN form from you and not a W8-ECI form) Generally, All income EXCEPT FDAP income (fixed or determinable annual or periodical income) are ECI income.  FDAP income includes income from interest, rent, dividends etc. IRS link to a list of all Income classified under FDAP below:- https://www.irs.gov/individuals/international-taxpayers/fixed-determinable-annual-periodical-fdap-income https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/iw8eci.pdf (page 3 - under effectively connected income)
As you are a stranger, it would be useful for me to take your stuff.  Does that mean I should?  I would use the proceeds to fund charities because I'm cool like that and want to *help society*.  Robbing you is *useful.*  Should I do it?
Really a very straightforward situation, and subsequently, answer.  Call the university pursors that you normally deal with, ask them to document the last 3 months of disbursements and highlight the incorrect one(s). If the money is already spent out, ask them if they can apply it to future disbursements via adjusting entries, and call it a day.  If not, and you CAN pay it back, go to your bank and ask them to figure it out...which they should be able to do, having the original sender's info.
You can convert your money at a money transfer office at an airport.
I separate out the quarters and larger (I'm Canadian, so there are coins bigger than a quarter). Then I put the rest in charity boxes.
For example: Dinner together: DR Food          50 DR Spouse        50 CR Credit Card       100
"The usual approach is to set up a ""Friends of X Park"" charity.  The charity raises money and then donates it towards work done in the park.  Here's an example that's local to me: Friends of Hastings Country Park. There will be quite a bit of work needed to set up a new charity, so it will only be worth it if there's enough money likely to be raised."
Bank every dollar possible to have more cash available for investing during the 2008/2009 crisis.
The chronically ill should be seeking out charities not insurance companes. Since companies are into making profit and paying thier employees. While someone who is already fucked is a hugely bad bet for a new client. I'ts nothing personal just the way things are. Your rights end where someone else's rights begin. Meaning you can't force other people to pay your way through life. As much as being able to breath is an achievement for some it does't entitle people to a free ride at someone else's expense.
sometimes we advise very old or incapacitated people to apply the refund to the next year as check writing from time to time & mailing may be a hassle for them.
I agree with all those points, but add them as reasoning to why I'm against the program.  I'd rather invest the money into something worthwhile, and if I die have what's there be left to my family. My family and I would be better off.  I believe that this would be true for every other individual paying into social security as well, and the great union would be better off putting that money into proper investments rather than a twisted defined benefits program.
Here's my thoughts on the subject:
Guys, this discussion is fantastic. Finally I understand how money works. Lets make this event crisper and spread the word. I guess one edited text would work best. So I've put it in a Google Doc for us to improve (e.g. add links to Wikipedia for relevant terms.)  https://docs.google.com/document/d/1YaVvkPYfrShWM4hTuWU7ncGItigql7iStCo85nAXI-U/edit  I hope this is not an un-Redditish idea.
"Rather than automating it, why not just create a listing that you maintain and display on your site yourself?  That way you don't have to give out credentials or anything else. It also presents a bit of a marketing opportunity.  You could group contributors by the size of their contributions and thank them publicly.  For example, maybe your top contributors could be members of the ""Heroes Club"", and you could come up with jazzy names for other groups.  It's a way of publicly acknowledging their contributions in a way that they appreciate, and perhaps it motivates others to up their own contributions to get into one of the more prominent groupings.  It becomes a competitive ""one-upsmanship"" thing, if that makes sense. I understand your desire to be transparent, and that's admirable, but see the marketing and public relations opportunity it brings to you as well. I hope this helps. Good luck!"
So, there's no way to do both?  I look out for my family, but I also try to be honest, live up to my word, and admit my mistakes rather than trying to find a villain or excuse for them.  Looking out for myself and my family includes being careful with my money, especially large sums that I don't want to lose.
You may want to keep some of your change - especially your nickels.  I know George would be disappointed if I didn't point this out. :)
Thanks for the TL;DR. That article was definitely TL and if they want to rally people to their cause they really should distill that down to the basics. It sounds like a worthy cause and I'm trying to get on their side but really if then can't state their case more succinctly than that they're going to lose readership and support.
I dunno, where did you go to school for arguing?  Let me spell it out for you: my products are all linked in the 3rd sentence of my bio on the right side of every page. I don't belabor them because I'm not trying to sell them.
I would love to know how a private for-profit corporation can do this without the consent of the person who the data is being collected from or at least told about it. We need to update our privacy laws to the 21st century.
Here you go: I'll leave the last question as an exercise to the reader.
"i dont know how they would buy *term* policies though, i suppose there is an actuarial value to the policy (ie. you might die during the policy term).  A lot of these polices are ""10 year term"" or something like that, so the actuarial value might be significant. (a lot of people get these who cant get whole life or cant afford to get it, with the health problems they now have).  Something tells me these transactions are not very advantageous to the insured (especially since i've seen them heavily advertised on channels my mom tends to watch)"
I love mint.com, it fulls in your information from all your accounts automatically, let's you know where you spend your money and what your net worth is.
"Following up on this, here is what I did. First, I called my benefits provider.  They had documentation of my election over the phone, which then allowed them to retroactively fix the problem. Had they not had this documentation, I would have been out of luck. Second, the next step for ""fixing"" occurred when I received my W-2 for this position. This W-2 mistakenly showed the amount for my medical FSA in box-10 of my W-2 as the same dependent care FSA. This requires calling/emailing my benefits and payroll department to get an updated W-2..."
"Sure there are. We still want skilled workers, people who speak English, and people who share our principles of freedom and hard work. We'd also have to discard our welfare system for their to be ""no additional hurdles"" as it used to be.  Before welfare our immigration system was non-existent."
And if I did, I would expect anyone to be forced to help me. Charity is a thing, and one Im happy to participate in. &gt;No life is not fair She chose this life, whats not fair about consequences? &gt;slavery wasn't fair Yes, how does that apply here? &gt;If you think it's ok for this to be how it is, we have nothing to speak further about. Again, this is of her making, no one is forcing her to do anything &gt;no I cannot come up with a number, congratulations. Right because living wage and other emotionally charged verbiage is nonsensical. &gt;Also the argument that a teenager doesn't need to be paid a living wage is ridiculous. why? &gt;It's the exact argument that's been used to under pay women. Oh boy, this has be debunked so many times Im sad you still think this is a thing. If women were truly underpaid, why woudnt greedy corps hire only women? &gt;Maybe empathizing on this scenario is beyond you. I empathize with someone born with say a disability. You chose to do nothing with your life, no advancement, not trying, then have kids in the middle of this wreck, no you get little sympathy from me on that.
Sex and reproduction is a choice like blinking is a choice. It's messed up to say that people who aren't born wealthy should 'simply' ignore biological imperatives, especially when things like vasectomies and tubal ligation require insurance and/or a large amount of cash.
Yes, but unless they had prior legal experience they would still have to hire a lawyer to help them out. And even when they won, it is not certain that they would recover any money. The licensing fee amount was chosen to be low enough to make it not worth the potential risk of getting into a lawsuit.
No, deliberate means intentional.   Consider a murder trial. Murder requires the prosecution to prove intent, but it doesn't require the defendant to confess (though would be adequate proof).  What do you think makes democracy morally superior to à meritocracy?
&gt; He generally is; but he doesn't have to be.  A bee can live outside of the hive.  If I destroy the hive, the bee survives.  &gt; severely limited and constrained us.  Fantasy.    Name me one accomplishment that man, on his own, can do that would surpass what man, together, have done.
Make a list and require your spouse to approve any purchase not on the list.
"&gt;My contention is that you should not need to pay out of pocket to be a ""good"" voter.  Super. Can you show me where I *did* say that?  No, you cannot, because I didn't. I said an ""educated populace."" There are many ways to achieve an educated populace."
"It is important to distinguish between being forced to do something because of a natural law (""I am forced to eat in order to stay alive"") and being forced to do something by the actions of another sentient being (""Wal-Mart is holding a gun to my head and forcing me to work for $10 an hour or be shot"").  No one is forcing anyone to work at Wal-Mart even if that person is ""forced"" to work there because there are no other employment opportunities available to them."
"Well if you weren't such an entitled prick, you'd know that it just flat out isn't as simple for some as ""find a better job"" or ""make more money"" or ""improve your lot in life"" as you have suggested here many different ways.   There are countless reasons why that just simply is not possible, and hence why there is, in fact, a need to require a living wage, no matter how hard you cover your ears and scream ""LALALALA"". If you weren't so self important, maybe you'd see that."
&gt;Everybody should have a second chance to try again.  This is such an important principle in the U.S. that it's engrained in the [U.S. Constitution, article I, section 8](http://www.usconstitution.net/xconst_A1Sec8.html) : *The Congress shall have power to. . . establish . . . uniform Laws on the subject of Bankruptcies throughout the United States*.
"&gt; If an individual wants insurance  My argument is that this is the wrong way of looking at the issue.  It isn't a question of wanting insurance.  Instead, the question should be *""if an individual wishes to remain healthy...""* or ""*if an individual wants access to healthcare...""*  Who doesn't?    Ensuring good health is a national good, just as providing an education, police and fire services, and national defense are.  Full stop."
&gt; A job that doesn't allow someone to live with dignity and have their basic needs covered shouldn't exist.  But don't you think this position has the unintended consequence of removing jobs for those who don't need the job to make a living, but rather to gain experience, or just supplemental income?
An argument from the extreme. I can do that too, watch:  *Or you can leave this country which values its taxes, and government services, and strike out for a no tax, no government haven that I am sure is out there somewhere...*  See how that works.
&gt; ... but if you believe it is even remotely possible with the current political climate we live in ...  There is nothing stopping you from doing a city/country/state [proposition](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/California_ballot_proposition) (laws vary).   Larry Lessig has an excellent [talk about the problem and the solution](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ik1AK56FtVc).  Flailing at Walmart isn't a solution.
"I'm against frivolous litigation, but this is not frivolous.  If you saw an ""Irish need not apply"" sign on the outside of a store like in the old days, you'd think it was despicable.  This is just a little less obvious example."
Depends on how many resources they have stored away.. ..how much they're capable of making on their own or within their circle.. ..how long they can hold out until they need something from a larger society that their smaller one can't provide.   ...or, until the larger society shows up at their door pushing a trade they'd rather not take part in, but being mighty insistent such that it puts them in a situation that they're willing to work with the external forces calling on them and/or their resources.
That's overly simplistic and bordering on third party propaganda (as if they aren't subject to being bought and often are used, whether voluntarily or not, to divide and conquer the vote), but the key is correct - state constitutions and the US Constitution all need changing to eliminate money and corporations from the election and law-making system.
Heh... that's true. I may have terrible luck, but there's nothing I can do on that one, other than acknowledge and curse it, or perhaps even using it as motivation. I think that pressing onward in defiance of fate until fate relents (or perhaps until I die) makes for a pretty cool story.
