Crooks, fraud and more crooks. The Feds are getting ripped off big time by fraudulent applicants applying for the new home tax credit. It seems that taxpayers claiming the credit include those who already owned a home, who had not yet bought a home, and who are children, some as young as four years old. There are possibly hundreds of millions of dollars that have been paid to taxpayers who are not entitled to the credit. These scammers are nothing more then crooks and like crooks they should be jailed when caught.

It seems that sometimes people who might be perfectly honest in most ways do not even blink when it comes to ripping off the government or insurance companies. Now of course there are people who will steal and rip off anyone also. For instance, there is no doubt that some doctors, hospitals and other facets of the health care industry routinely rip off Medicare. In fact there are some businesses set up for the single purpose of ripping off Medicare.

This should not be allowed and the crooks belong in jail. If you know of anyone involved in these illegal activities turn them in. It is estimated that the loss to some government programs is in the BILLIONS, and this is not the total, it means BILLIONS every year.
