How did Lyndon Johnson's Great Society promote the general welfare?
The Poor will always be with us. Most American Christians believe, among other things, that Christ charged us with caring for the least of our brothers. They also consider the United States to be a Christian nation, despite the fact that the Founding Fathers may have been divided on personal issues of faith, but not on their intent to found a nation where freedom of faith is fundamental. Their intent for the poor is to be found in the phrase "promote the general welfare", which was the basis for the Great Society movement of Lyndon B. Johnson

Why does the study on swine flu say poorer countries would be affected the most by the pandemic?
There are multiple reasons. Some of those are:
Disadvantaged countries usually have contaminated water supplies and hygiene is always an issue. This makes it much more likely that the virus will be passed from person to person without hand washing and without cleaning of surfaces in public places.
In addition, the public is likely malnourished which makes recovery from the flu slower and the immune system weaker and less able to fight infections.
IF schools are available, the students are usually over crowded and more likely to pass communicable diseases to each other. Schools often have no available water or supplies for hygiene.
Doctors are few and far between, so there are usually no vaccinations and/or no education to help the people understand why vaccines are important, no medicines to prevent or treat the flu and complications get to critical stages before they are able to be addressed by health care professionals, IF that is available at all to these poverty stricken populations. The people are also more likely to have underlying diseases and health problems that make complications of the flu more likely. The HIV/AIDS epidemic is rampant in many of the stricken countries which puts all of those in great peril if they get infections since HIV/AIDS means there is ineffective immune function.
These are only a few of the problems of health maintenance and infectious disease in 3rd World Nations.

Why should welfare be limited?
The money for welfare comes from the taxes people in work are paying. If welfare funds are not limited then two things would happen.
1) The taxes working people would have to pay would have to go up allot.
2) People in work would begin to think why should I work (and pay all these taxes) when I can get as much welfare as I need for doing nothing.
The purpose of welfare is to make sure that people that have fallen on hard times do not become destitute - the amount of welfare needs to be a balance between what people need and what tax payers feel is a fair tax to ask them to contribute. This means that welfare must be limited.
If you are on welfare can you file taxes?
If you want to file an income tax return you can do this. But why would you want to file a tax return if your are not required to file one.
Simple Common Sense:
The only time you actually do WANT to file is when the IRS says you don't have to!
They don't do that because it's good for you. They do it because it is more likely to be good for them. Certainly if you don't have to file, NOTHING BAD, in fact only good things, can happen by doing so.
Federal Taxes are the same throughout the country. State tax laws are specific to each area.
Whether you have to file a tax return (or pay tax) depends, in part, on your filing status, deductions, amount & type ofincome. There are no such things as "start and stop" ages, not having to pay because of retirement or on social security or working from home or a student. It is all addressed as a matter of"how much TAXABLE income."
(Note: working isn't relevant either, as many people who don't work or are retired, or disabled, or old, or young, or in school, have income from many sources: savings, investments, etc.TAXABLE income is different than what you may otherwise think of as income. In most circumstances, you have to do many of the calculations needed to file a return, just to determine what taxable income may be).
Likewise, there are no special or fixed rates for retired, student, doctor, sanitation worker, President, convict...whatever. The amount of taxable income after applicable deductions and adjustments determines the rate applied to your particular situation. The rate, as well as the amount, you pay changes as the amount of income does.
You must file a tax return if you had net earnings from self-employment of $400 or more. This is your total self-employment income less the expenses paid in operating your trade or business, multiplied by 92.35%.
If you weren't self-employed (paid on a 1099 or ran your own business) then you would always want to file a return to claim the amount withheld and shown on your W-2, which with lower incomes will always be refunded to you.
If you are an individual who may be claimed as a dependent on another person's return, you are subject to specific filing requirements. Refer to the instructions in your tax package or refer to Publication 929, Tax Rules for Children and Dependents, or Publication 501, Exemptions, Standard Deduction, and Filing Information, for the filing requirements for dependents. All available at www.IRS.gov
You must file a tax return if you received any amount of advance earned income credit payments from your employer during the year, or if you owe any taxes, such as:
- social security tax and Medicare tax on tips or group life insurance,
- alternative minimum tax,
- tax on qualified retirement plans including an Individual Retirement Account, or other tax-favored account,
- tax from recapture of an education credit, investment credit, low income housing credit, federal mortgage subsidy, qualified electric vehicle credit, or the native American employment credit.
Generally, you must file a tax return if you are a nonresident alien with income from sources in the United States. For more information on nonresident aliens, select Topic 851 at the IRS website.
Even if you are not required to file a tax return, file a return BECAUSE MANY, LOW INCOME PEOPLE HAVE MANY BENEFITS COMING THAT ARE KEYED TO FILING A RETURN. (Like stimulus checks).
Also, the Statute of Limitations for when the IRS can no longer ask you questions about your affairs for a year only STARTS to run when a return is filed. Not filing, and they can bug you, (and assess a tax) for forever!
