The Government Will Take Your Money For Your Dead Parent's Debts

[JayhawkSD]

19. It's not a contract...

...because there is no exchange. In order for there to be a contract there must be and exchange of benefits, and there was not. The money is simply given to the child with nothing required in return.

It is not related to the parent's rent. The rent was a contract: money in exchange for a place to live, and it was between the parents and the landlord, not involving the child at all. The landlord never, under any circumstances, has any claim on the child. If you are the landlord you will never in a million years get the IRS to take back rent of of anyone's paycheck.

I agree this is a bad law, and I am disgusted and outraged at Congress that it was passed, but we cannot claim that it was illegal based on the basis that the child could not enter into a contract. We cannot claim that it is illegal at all. It is immoral, outrageous, corrupt, and contemptible, but it is not illegal.
