Legalized theft
Yay for being done. I was good this year and finished in March. Tax Freedom Day this is next week Wednesday, 23 April. After that, everything we earn we will be generously allowed to keep by our overlords in Washington, D.C.
Wishlist for changes:
Tax day moved to election day. Think of the fun that we’d have if everytime we went to pay our taxes, we could decide who got to spend them!
Withholding abolished. Right now, 95% (made up statistic!) of the people who pay taxes in this country never have to cut a check to the Fed. This makes them happy to get a refund back. Along with this, the interest penalty for underestimating taxes needs to go away. The government is not a for-profit endeavor, and therefore has no need of any kind of interest on money.
Slightly more out there, tying taxes to voting. No taxy, no votey. Mmmmmmm, no more old/knocked-up people voting themselves a share of my pocketbook. So nice…
Edit: One day, I will write something funny and long, much like Dave Barry talking about taxes.
