Taxes Ain't Fair
Going to the Post Office is not my favorite thing to be doing on a Monday night. I would prefer to be watching Oprah on the Oxygen network or cooking up some ham balls for the week. Instead, I found myselfs waiting in a 235 person line (I counted twice) in the post office. Last night was apparently the last night to legally be on time for taxation. If I were not court mandated to pay taxes, I would not be doing so today. About two years ago I owed the IRS about $200. I did not want to pay, so I mailed them a note with a letter attached to a $1 bill that read, "Take this dollar and shove it up yo (hind quarters)." I was thrown in jail for two weeks and as creative punishment was forced to stand naked on top of a post office thirty feet in the air and hand out flyers for promoting their new "Dalmations" stamp series. I am not a very politicalic person, but this tax system ain't right (I can legitimately complain now because I've been paying for the past two years). I would rather be robbed on the street at gun point than have to pay taxes. At least the theif don't make you fill out forms. And where does this money go??? In the past year, the goverment wasted so much dang money on stupid things, such as:
-$500,000 for the Sparta Teapot Museum in Sparta, North Carolina
-$4.2 million for shrimp aquaculture research
-$1 milion for the Waterfree Urinal Conservation Initiative
-$2 million for the buyback of the USS Sequoia Presidential Yacht
-$6.7 million in YMCA funding
The term for this is pork barrel spending. Although thinking about it makes me both angry and hungry, I am also disapointed that we have not stopped these crazy people in governmment. I was watching C-Span while drunk a couple nights ago and heard an idea that made my lady parts giggle. It is called the Fair Tax plan and eliminates the IRS completely. It is already in the senate and has tons of support by senators. Lady Raptastic is a supporter. We shall overcome! -LR (source)

Taxes? Taxes? We talking about Taxes? I feel ya bout when you are talking about your taxation quandries. I am not a polliticalic person myself either Lady, but when it comes to tax season (specifically this past one) everything is ludacris. Being the young buck that I am, I never had to pay up until this last year. I needed to pay an indescriminant amount of money (a lot) this year. I think it is insane that the government wants us to pay this money in such a short period of time. you literally have 2 or so months to make, find, or take that money to pay off your debts to the "Man." I will get into politics if there is a person who will advocate for the extension of tax season. When that day happens, I will be rejoiceful. That is my story.

If you support the FairTax (55 co-sponsors in the House) go to www.fairtax.org and sign the petition here: http://db.fairtaxvolunteer.org/petition.php
They need to know a supporter exists to get this to happen.
