This Thursday I quit my position with a company because I found something better. Subsquently, I was paid Thursday for the two-weeks prior. I was salary, receiving benefits, and Monday-Thursday should have been considered as my last days.

Well, this Saturday morning I checked my bank account and the money I was paid Thursday was removed from my account by the payroll department. This caused me to become negative in my bank account. I contacted my "past" Supervisor and he said he didn't know what was going on; yeah right.

Legally, what are my rights and who do I contact? My Mom says the labor board and a friend says the EEOC. I believe they did this in order to get procedures and other information from me, however; I feel what they did is malicious and illegal given that this wasn't supposed to be my last check from them. In addition, it makes me apprehensive to give them any information because there is no gaurantee they'll pay me what is due to me.

What's stopping Ted Kennedy, John Kerry, and Hillary Clinton from sending the IRS more money? Frankly, I'm surprised every single Democrat Congressperson uses tax deductions to lower their taxes.

Sure, the Republicans use the same deductions, but they don't think lower taxes is a bad thing.

Listen to any conservative talk show and within minutes you are bombarded by an angry tirade against so called liberals (many of whom are moderate conservatives).
Yet when a liberal or moderate conservative ever speaks their mind on an issue conservatives mock them for being angry liberals. Am i missing something or is it that conservatives believe they have a monopoly on "righteous anger"?
Just wondering if anyone else has noticed this and what you think about it.

Socialist Europeans are not living in the third world. Most Europeans have free health care, more time off, live longer, nice economies, good educational systems, excellent transportation systems and are connected with the technology's of today. The motto in Holland seems to be that you can work if you want to work. The majority seem to work and contribute to an excellent industrialized nation. Why are we so hell bent on destroying welfare in this country?

Just thinking, there's a lot of people who bad mouth the government, Bush, politicians in general. Sometimes with good reason, but do they have a right to say anything if they don't vote?
