Sarah Palin proven right! Government tricks beautiful young mom; imposes 1st Death Panel Verdict

Here’s something to notice. If it’s true that she raised the money to pay for the surgery herself, then that’s income. And the amount of income it would have taken to cover this surgery would surely put her over the medicaid eligibility limits.

I don’t know what this means in terms of the moral of the story, I just thought it was worth pointing out.

Ding! Ding! Ding!

I win the thread!!

Sorry for the delay-- I’ve “had things to do”.

May not even need one…

I wonder if the IRS will keep an eye out to see if she declares it. At least she’ll have About $100,000 - $250,000 worth of medical expenses she can deduct.

Holy fuck, did she really raise $100,000?!

So the guy whose cause celebre is how liberals are making our kids impregnate and/or syphilize* each other thinks people these days are “too hysterical about youthful sex”.

Answer me this, sir: are you, or have you ever been, Stephen Colbert?

*if that’s not a word, by god, it oughtta be.

I think we’ve all missed the important question: Was SA at least polite when he was attempting to molest his fellow eight year olds?

It’s simple:

Teenagers having sex with other: Horror of today caused by evil liberals

Teenagers having sex with adults: Benefit of the 50s eliminated by evil liberals

It is because you’ve outed yourself as a demented pervert. The latter being the new piece of information.

It’s funny that you don’t even realise what you’ve done or how freakin’ disturbed you are.

Remember, Starving Artist-when your stories backfire as badly as your last three, just claim that they were satirical(or as in the case of your story of sex abuse, satyrical), and mock us for not having a sense of humor.

Some people make really good spaghetti.

You forgit, she’s purty!

“Which cheap bastard gave you 50 cents?”

“All of them!”

Why not? Happens all the time in GD. Gets scorned every time, though.

Um, aren’t these money raising things for medical costs usually put into a trust, so as not to tempt parents of sick children, for instance, from using it for other things? And also, for exactly the reason you’ve pointed out, to avoid tax problems etc. I think they are where I live, anyway.

42fish nailed it, I believe:

I simply cannot wait to hear how he spins this one. I just love his creativity.

Ah yes. The old “private corporations are more competent than the guvmint” argument. Simply not true. See, with private corporations you get both slimy bastards AND incompetence.

I actually have no idea how it works, and up until recently had no idea it even occurred.

But based on my limited knowledge of US taxation, wouldn’t this all still be counted along the lines as a gift or winnings? If people gave her a car she’d be taxed on the value. If they forgave a loan she’d taxed.

Seriously, if they give her $100,000 worth of medical care, is that taxable? (I’m going to ask Turbotax and see what it says) Does anyone know the answer to this?

(bolding mine)I’m sorry, but I can’t let this go. Where the fuck did you get the word “faunch” and do you use it IRL?

Faunch=angry excitement, and I think he thought it would fit as a substitute for “chomping”.

Now, where did that little scamp get off to?

When you make your own reality in your head, you get to make words too!
