Growing Free Money on Flowers (Photo credit: epSos.de)
Maybe it is me, but filing my tax return this year was not a particularly happy time. Why is that?
Maybe it is because I paid $2000 more this year than last, and I am lower than the middle class
Maybe it is because I got wildly confused about the forms required.
Maybe it was because it is my yearly review of what I spent.
Maybe it is because even though I paid more tax, I spent less than last year.
Maybe it is because it reminds me of how little fun I had this year because my expenses were mostly housing, food, and gasoline, and not for wine, theater productions, vacations, and great dinners out.
Maybe it is because I gained weight from eating low-cost pasta meals.
Maybe it is because I see what I pay and then hear about the forty-seven percent of the employed who don’t pay taxes.
Maybe it is because I see the élite 535 of our country spending it like it comes from a bottomless pit.
Or, maybe it is because I read a news article about the 9.8 million federal workers who are delinquent paying their taxes.
Maybe it is because I have become a tax-slave.
We wonder why we are such a screwed-up-country. Look at the pile of paper in my tax return. Is that really what a retired old racist white guy should face on a fixed income? Just imagine the pile of paper a Corporation must have to file, then imagine the army of IRS agents needed to analyze all this stuff.
Maybe I am being critical because Obama continues to want even more from us.
This is what I say to you Brobama!
