[quote=LarryTheRenter]Is issuing a 1099 something you can do yourself with a simple form or does it require getting (and paying) an accountant to do it for you???? thanks[/quote]

You can do it yourself, by hand would be a pain in the ass if you don’t know what you’re doing. If you do know what you’re doing, its gonna take maybe 1/2 hour for a few 1099’s. I just looked for low cost services online and Intuit will prepare all the forms for you for $39, $25 if done before Jan 23.

I was just about to post something about this. Of note is that Utah IS a state, like California, with a non-judicial foreclosure process. There are nuances in each state’s laws, which may make similar claims in California without merit.

Also of note, Mish tends to be a pretty conservative guy, with little patience for borrowers behind in their payments. He calls this a travesty of justice. But then, after posting some alternate views from comments from his readers he finishes with an amended conclusion:

In general, I share the “mixed feelings” of [commenter] Dr. Evil. Unless Congress botches things up (always a distinct possibility), we will likely get a better system out of this than before. That is one way, the only way to legitimately have “mixed feelings” about this. Certainly there has been no justice served in regards to bank fraud. Not a single person has gone to jail or even been significantly fined.

And this is a completely different tact to an only peripherally related problem as was addressed in the thread here a week or 10 days ago. This is purely a MERS issue, and seems to be the result of the failure to properly record transfers of ownership of notes and security subsequent to original recording. Since the current owners of the notes weren’t recorded, they weren’t entitled to notice of the quiet title action. Nor was MERS, as MERS was never an owner.

Simple. I would beg to say that in most cases *most* public servants are *unqualified* to be in any meaningful role of authority to be making a call..Because at *best*, they are *average* humans like everyone else, and in most cases they are most likely not even up to that standard…And that even includes judges…..

[/quote]

I’m not sure there was an answer to my question in there. Do you think that because of your belief that civil servants are usually unqualified, that CPS should be abolished? How about police and fire departments?

A question for you flu.

Based on this sketchy evidence, I have no idea if the father actually committed any crime. Maybe he did, maybe he didn’t, but from what’s been presented, it certainly doesn’t appear to be sufficient to remove the kids from the home. But my question is this….what if the evidence was all but uncontrovertable. Actual photos of dad molesting the kids? Would that have been sufficient for you to believe the kids should be removed from the home?

The reason I ask, is that it seems to me that often when people assail big government, the actual complaint is about bad government. Maybe power hungry social workers. Maybe someone honestly believing, without good evidence that a crime has been committed. Smaller wouldn’t necessarily be any better. Fewer social workers on the street would just as likely to have dangerous egos. Or be so overworked that they just make mistakes. Should CPS not have the power to do what they do? Or should they just be better at it?

(And as an aside, if this government employee really is a social worker, she’s making much more than minimum wage. Social workers are trained medical professionals, and are reasonably well paid, although last I saw the pay scales, those working in the public sector are paid below those in the private sector.)
