About 170,000 state income tax refund checks were reduced or erased to pay $42 million in debts those taxpayers owed to the state, the Department of Revenue reported Monday.

The debts include unpaid student loans, child support and court fines, said Revenue Department spokeswoman Rosemary Hardin. Most of it -- $27 million -- was for unpaid personal income taxes.

I say GOOD!! Pay up sucker!!

I hope those deadbeats and burnouts realize that they can't stiff "The Man". "The Man" will always collect from you at some point, and rightfully so. There's not much more that pisses me off than people who don't pay their income taxes or child support.

I congratulate those that have offered to donate their kicker to their cause of choice. As for us, ours is going directly into our retirement accounts.
