what did the personal responsibility act of 1996 do?
113688
The bill is a comprehensive piece of legislation with far-reaching implications in a number of programs. The bill eliminates the open-ended federal entitlement program of Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC) and creates a block grant for states to provide time-limited cash assistance for needy families. The comprehensive legislation also makes far-reaching changes to child care, the Food Stamp Program, Supplemental Security Income (SSI) for children, benefits for legal immigrants and the Child Support Enforcement program. Modifications to the child nutrition programs and a reduction in the Social Services Block Grant are also included. Unlike previous versions, however, current law is retained for child welfare and child protection programs. The legislation will save an estimated $54.5 billion over six years with the majority of savings due to changes in the Food Stamp Program and reduction in benefits for legal immigrants.

You could look at the American Bar Associations Model Rules of Professional Responsibility [See link below]. The rules are divided generally by subject and coverage, and make sure to read the Committee Comments for the applicable rules as they given further guidence. \n\nHOWEVER, please note that these rules are only model rules, and may not be the exact rules of your jurisdiction. While many states have adopted the model rules or modifications of the model rules, there are some significant differences depending on jurisdiction. You might look at the State Bar website for your state/jurisdiction and see if they have posted their Rules of Professional Responsibility.

Some wereable to return to their homes. Others had to sell their houses and farms in 1941 and had to start over. In 1948, Congress passed the American Japanese Claims Act which provided some compensation. Many Japanese Americans thought that this compensation was inadequate. In 1988, the American Civil Liberties Act provided further compensation.

The quickest charter change required in the Philippines is a web site whereby the citizens can expose the names of all the public officials committing malfeasance (Wrongful conduct by a public official) also breach of duty of care and public negligence, furthermore it is a public duty to do so and not doing so makes you responsible for knowing and supporting it.\n\nWillful misconduct. Willful misconduct is a legal term that either means:\n \n(1.) Deliberately doing something when you know it is wrong.\n(2.) Deliberately failing to do something when you know you should do it.\n(3.) And not caring whether doing it, or not doing it, is wrong. \n\nWhat I ask myself is:- what can it be that inspires an ignoramus to gain the whole world yet lose their own soul and not see the consequences thereafter of such greedy distress caused to others. Not to mention, the wastage of time and resources of having to set the whole cycle to repeat again and again, of which inevitably reoccurs for the abused forced to endure it. Is this a sign of intelligence? If one cannot take responsibility for the small things then surly how can they possibly for the larger ones? \n\nIt is a public duty to expose those that are guilty of the above and if you don't that makes you a supporter of it.\n\nWhen I look at any Individual, Company, Organisation or Government, and I look at the results that are being produced, the results are a direct reflection of the attitude at the centre of the hub, everytime!  (The buck stops there!) When the foresight, vision and integrity is out of line and not contextual, it spreads down the spokes of the wheel, and pollutes the consciousness of the whole, thereafter fuelling the insurgence and uprising of the populous. Every time! So, what does it tell you about the decision maker’s ability? Are they contributing more than they are earning? Are they earning more than they are contributing? Are they the ones for the job? Just attached to looking good? Think that power has something to do with manipulation, domination and control? Validating the opposite position that they do not have it, if they did have, they would not be taking that position anyway, and what are they going to do with it anyway when they get it? Instead of having things happen naturally which is true power. If there is no integrity, then there is no credibility. Now you know why they resign, abdicate responsibility, or projects, Companies & Governments collapse or fall from grace.if there is no integrity then clearly there is no credibility.\n\nEveryone rises to their level of incompetence and The incompetent with nothing to do can still make a mess of it. Incompetents invariably make trouble for people other than themselves. The less their ability, the more their conceit.\n\nStart by not getting paid to vote! and doing the above

I believe that anyone that acts in an irresponsible manner with their own health should be fully responsible for any costs associated with repairing said health. This would include smokers who get lung disease, cancer etc., extreme sports persons who do not take the appropriate cautions, drinkers that drink to excess and cause themselves harm via liver damage and the such and any other avoidable personal harm. If people were more accountable for their own actions, then perhaps our health care would be able to help those who do not willfully attract personal harm such as children with cancer. Another side effect of a system like this may be to drastically reduce the number of smokers and drinkers and risk takers; they would think twice about doing these things that may harm them.\nJust my two cents.

Sure. Start with Title 26 of the US Code. Passed by Congress over the past 90 years. Under authority of the 16th Amendment, ratified in 1913, and confirmed by the US Supreme Court as being ratified in 1916. See the dozen other posts on that subject for details. US Code Title 26 authorizes the Department of the Treasury to collect personal income taxes. The IRS is their enforcement arm.\n\nNext, violation of the PRA does not alleviate tax liability. Read 44 USC 3501 and 44 USC 3518. Nothing in the PRA reduces the authority of any govt agency to carry out their functions or impedes their ability to assess civil or criminal liability. Read 44 USC 3506-08 Nothing the PRA limits an agency's authority to collect information necessary for those functions.\n\nThird, the Public Protection clause (44 USC 3512) states in relevant part that a person cannot be penalized for refusing to fill out forms that do not include a proper control number. However, even if the form does not include such a control number (I haven't checked) no penalty is being imposed under the PRA and no penalty is being imposed for refusing to provide the information discussed in the PRA. So section 3512 doesn't apply. Not to mention that filling out form 1040 by itself is a voluntary process, and thus not subject to the PRA. \n\nTitle 26 Section 1 imposes tax liability. Title 26 Section 601 et seq sets forth reporting requirements. If a person does not voluntarily assess their own tax, the govt will perform the tax assessment. This is independent of what forms are used.\n\nSo, regardless of your arguments about the PRA, that doesn't affect a person's tax liability. See the IRS website and dozens of federal tax evasion cases for further details.

Lack of personal responsibility! It is evident in our school systems, our government, and most family systems that "it" is always someone else's fault. The buck gets passed so much that nobody has any sense of personal accountability. I have a very strong work ethic and most people don't understand it. I am early everyday and I don't punch a time clock, I am salaried. Even my family tries to talk me into taking lots of vacations and blowing this job off because it is not a career, it is just a way to help me pay for school. I just don't function that way and I am not the norm.

How about the lack of personal responsibility for one's own actions these days?

People's personal blights, ie poverty or education, or not the responsibility of goverment. It is that person's choice where they are in life. In modern american society it seems that everyone wants to blame someone for the way they ended up, or make an excuse for why someone else is doing better than them. \n\nIt is a fact that some people will do nothing more than what is ABSOLUTELY nessacary for survival on that particular day. Some people will do more, and some will do everything they can to get better off than others. \n\nTo directly answer the poverty % quest... It all comes down to what the person doing the survey wants the number to be. A person living in per-say Montana with a small farm grwing there own food not really having a need for money is in poverty. But if you ask them they may say they are doing fine as all of their needs are met. A multi-millionaire that has no job (doesn't need it duh) and has no investment income (poor economic move) is considered in poverty by IRS standards. So it all comes down to what poverty number do you want to have?\n\nOn a side note, I fix up houses as a business. With the way the tax code is structured I can write off almost all of my income to business expenses. IRS paper work I made $9300 last year for a family of 3 (sole income earner). My actually net from the business for the year was $102,000+(not rubbing it in). I have been contacted multi times for Gov't assistance because we are POOR. LOL

Yes, it was one of the most significant achievements of the Clinton administation. It resulted in deficit reduction for all eight years of the administration, and finally brought the US fiscal house in order after 12 years of Republican budget mismanagement.\n\nFor more information, try:\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Omnibus_Budget_Reconciliation_Act_of_1993\n\nFor the actual text of the law:\nhttp://naic.acf.hhs.gov/general/legal/federal/pl103_66.cfm\n\nFor a report on the consequences:\nhttp://www.clevelandfed.org/Research/Com93/1015.pdf

Can individuals make an impact? Absolutely. What is the alternative? Ignoring the problem? Wishing it would all just go away?\n\nI have ICE on my speed dial. Employers who blatantly say "eff you" to the law need to be held accountable. Who else is going to bring these people to justice? The government? (That's a rhetorical question, no answer necessary).\n\nYES, individuals can - and do - make a difference. The biggest hurdle faced - at least in my community - is that local law enforcement has their hands tied behind their backs when it comes to enforcement. Although several towns across the country have enacted laws to change this, nationwide, we are failing - and those who wish to break the law to their own advantage are laughing all the way to the bank.

it's definitely a matter of individual responsibility.  what kind of world would this be if all the crimes were blamed on america's dysfunction?  it would be chaos 24/7 in america if people could blame their crimes on society.  but when it comes down to it, everything is a matter of individual responsibility.  ultimately, you make the choice to do what you do.  whether it's getting drunk, smoking a joint, beating up a gay person based on personal issues or killing someone because of God-only-knows what.  you make a decision to do what you do, society doesn't make you do anything.
