The taxes are finally done. I procrastinated as long as I reasonably could, but dove into the depths of the IRS and Franchise Tax Board murk last weekend. The results are that both the FTB and IRS vacuumed the funds from my account early today, even before I had a chance to tell my money goodbye.
If anything could turn a mild-mannered nice guy, like me, into a ‘radicalized right-wing extremist,’ it would be tax season. I had a notion to head over to one of those ‘tea parties’ with my fellow extremists, but now that the taxes are done, I’m feeling better. I have to get back to regular life mode and attend to making my living, and the living of numerous deadbeats and financial bailouts that steal need my money.
As for my fellow extremists going to the tea parties, I wish them well. Don’t let ACORN and other communist organizers upset the teacarts. Hang in there and get plenty of media coverage (besides FOX, that is).
Taxes, Taxes and more Taxes. Do you think you pay enough, do you think you pay too much, do you think you pay too little, or do you think at all. Unfortunately, many Americans fall into the last catagory. They don’t think, they don’t care, or they don’t think they can make a difference. The Tea Parties may, just may be a spark that ignites a great fire-storm, on that we’ll have to wait and see. At least some took the time, took the effort, and took a stand for what they believe in. And that by any view is good and the way it should be… Napoleon said, “ten people who speak make more noise than ten thousand who are silent”. That says it all.
Serves you right! How dare you be self sufficient and productive in the age of That One!
Lot of people showed up in all 50 states today for the tea parties. We have been watching some of the coverage on the internet and on TV tonight, and it looks like it was a success.
I hope that congress and “The One” get a clue.
Those of us who are self-confident, self-reliant and self-motivated have just put the self-centered in Washington on notice.
Update: This is where over a quarter of a million folks turned out for the tea parties:
News Flash…..
They aren’t listening. But enough people may get mad enough so that they do. Arrogance of the level we have seen IN DC is gonna need a heavy dosage of reality-based whoop ass before they see the light.
