Good Words From Larry The Cable Guy! june 2011
Everyone concentrates on the problems we’re having in Our Country lately: Illegal immigration, hurricane recovery, alligators attacking people in Florida . .. .. . Not me — I concentrate on solutions for the problems — it’s a win-win situation. * Dig a moat the length of the Mexican border. * Send the dirt to New Orleans to raise the level of the levees. * Put the Florida alligators in the moat along the Mexican border.
Any other problems you would like for me to solve today? Think about this:1. Cows
2. The Constitution
3. The Ten Commandments
COWS:
Is it just me, or does anyone else find it amazing that during the mad cow epidemic our government could track a single cow, born in Canada almost three years ago, right to the stall where she slept in the state of Washington? And, they tracked her calves to their stalls. But they are unable to locate 11 million illegal aliens wandering around our country.. Maybe we should give each of them a cow.
They keep talking about drafting a Constitution for Iraq ….why don’t we just give them ours? It was written by a lot of really smart guys, it has worked for over 200 years, and we’re not using it anymore. THE 10 COMMANDMENTS:
The real reason that we can’t have the Ten Commandments posted in a courthouse is this — you cannot post ‘Thou Shalt Not Steal’ ‘Thou Shalt Not Commit Adultery’ and ‘Thou Shall Not Lie’ in a building full of lawyers, judges and politicians, it creates a hostile work environment. GET ER DONE!

AP NewsBreak: Taxpayer identity theft is soaring
AP NewsBreak: IRS grappling with soaring taxpayer identity theft; sharply up from 2008 to 2010
, On Wednesday June 1, 2011
IRS website: http://www.irs.gov
WASHINGTON (AP) — Imagine filing your tax return and learning that someone else got your refund. With your name and Social Security number, no less.
The IRS is grappling with a nearly five-fold increase in taxpayer identity theft between 2008 and 2010, a Government Accountability Office official plans to tell a House hearing Thursday. There were 248,357 incidents in 2010, compared to 51,702 in 2008.
The GAO findings, obtained by The Associated Press, don’t begin to describe the pain for a first-time victim, who must wait for a refund while the IRS sorts out which return is real and which is a fraud.
Many identity thieves don’t get prosecuted, according James White, director of strategic issues for the GAO..
“IRS officials told us that IRS pursues criminal investigations of suspected identity thieves in only a small number of cases,” White says in testimony prepared for a House Oversight and Government Reform subcommittee.
He said that in the 2010 fiscal year, the IRS criminal investigations division initiated just over 4,700 investigations of all types — far less than the identity theft cases alone.
“We want to know why this problem is apparently getting much worse,” said Rep. Todd Platts, R-Pa., chairman of the subcommittee. “By bringing these issues to the public as quickly as possible, the committee hopes to give citizens the necessary information so they can protect themselves from such identity theft.”
IRS Commissioner Douglas Shulman, in his prepared statement, defended the criminal investigation record. He said his criminal division concentrates on schemes of national scope and added that 95 percent of those prosecuted for refund-related identity theft go to prison.
Tax identity thieves typically submit returns for refunds early in the filing season. The legitimate taxpayer usually files later, and only then learns from the IRS that two returns were filed using the same Social Security number.
Some thieves steal a name and Social Security number to obtain a job. The employer will report the thief’s wage information to the IRS, as would the legitimate taxpayer’s employer. The victim then would receive an unwelcome IRS notice that he or she failed to report everything that was earned. The victim would then need to work with the tax agency to sort things out.
Shulman said the IRS can significantly increase its protection after someone has been victimized the first time.
One victim, LaVonda Rae Thompson, 52, of York, Pa., plans to tell the committee about what she calls “my nightmare.”
She had to make rounds of calls to the IRS and other government agencies, sometimes repeating the same information. She spoke on the phone with an IRS employee she described as “the most rude and discourteous person I have ever spoken with in my life.”
She was told her refund would take 16 weeks to six months.
She closed her bank accounts and opened new ones. She ordered new checks. She placed a 90-day alert on her credit reports. She often has to show her IRS identity theft affidavit.
“You may not be able to know how stressful this has been,” she said in her statement. “I can’t sleep. I wonder what the person will do next as far as trying to get credit cards or anything in my name.”
Tax form 14039, the IRS Identity Theft Affidavit, allows the agency to mark an account to identify future questionable activity. A task force of the IRS and other agencies established a website, STOPFRAUD.gov, which tells taxpayers what to do if they suspect identity fraud.
The main IRS website includes “Ten Things the IRS Wants You to Know About Identity Theft.”
If the IRS receives multiple tax returns for the same individuals, the taxpayer usually must substantiate identity with a federal or state-issued identification such as a driver’s license or passport — together with a copy of a police report or the IRS affidavit.
This past January, the IRS developed a pilot program designed to lessen delays for victims who deserve a refund.
Victims are issued an “identity protection personal identification number,” which the IRS will use to process future returns. A new PIN will be issued each year the taxpayer’s account has been marked for potential fraud.

Managing the Big Shift Toward Retirement
A retirement revolution is currently underway, as the country’s 77 million baby boomers approach the so-called “golden years” with a completely new mindset and approach. Advances in medical science have helped increase life expectancies to where age 65 is hardly “over the hill,” and filling your days with rounds of golf and pottery classes for the next 30 or so years seems cumbersome and impractical.
There is a need to continue to work, for both personal and economic fulfillment. In fact, 77% of today’s workers say they plan to work in retirement, according to Pew Research.
“There is a shift in vision for this period,” says Marc Freedman, author of The Big Shift: Navigating the New Stage Beyond Midlife. “The old goal used to be ‘freedom from work, liberation from labor…but financially its hard to make ends meet for the next 30 years without an income and psychically it’s not for many for people who define themselves by work, who are far from out of energy.”
For 68-year-old Cynthia Barnett, a life coach and founder of RefireDontRetire, her passion has always been education, so rather than fully retiring, she’s taken on work as an adjunct professor at a local university. This way she can also afford to work freely with her non-profit academic organization Saturday Academy Inc., her first love. “People no longer think about retirement as sitting in the rocking chair,” she says. “It’s about creating your own thing, maybe becoming an entrepreneur.”
One of Barnett’s clients, Sharon Laughlin, is following her coach’s advice. The 53-year-old mother of two spent decades working as a book-keeper. A recent empty-nester, Laughlin felt the need to finally focus on herself and create a future that involved turning her real passion into a paycheck, a job that would be both emotionally and financially fulfilling, as she approached retirement. In the past year, she’s launched a soap business, Made For You, a line of home-made, all-natural soaps that she sells online and at local fairs. “I really wanted to do something where I found my niche, that I was good at,” she says.
The transition towards retirement, during which you’re figuring out your next steps, can be costly, says Freedman. “One way to do it is to moonlight, get a job that’s primarily about paying the bills and at the same time, work part-time or volunteer in areas that you think you might want to transition,” he says. “This way you’re moving forward and not just treading water during this period.”
Laughlin, for example, has maintained her book-keeping work while she gets her soap business off the ground. She is confident this will eventually be her retirement safety net, whenever that day arrives.
