Tax Day 09

[etumukutenyak]

I was thinking last night about the whole process, and realized consciously that -- as a Federal employee -- there's no way to avoid paying taxes. They're taken out of every paycheck without fail. In fact, every year we show the IRS how much we deserve to have refunded.

It really should be that simple for everyone. That's not a flat tax, that's a simpler approach to a complex subject.

And now, I shall demonstrate the proper usage of a tea bag: hot water <--- dunk until dark enough; add milk. Drink.

That is all.

My father and your mother would agree completely. And in an ideal world, I'd set it up so my refund was tiny. However, I work for a large bureaucracy, and get adjustments to my salary half-way through the year, so they always overpay my taxes. A lot. I've given up trying to make it smaller.

Your situation is what my father aims for when he does their taxes. In fact, he explains that he would like to time things so that as he spends his last nickel he drops dead.
