Happy Tax Day

The IRS Mission
Provide America’s taxpayers top quality service by helping them understand and meet their tax responsibilities and by applying the tax law with integrity and fairness to all.

The above can be found can be found at http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/i1040.pdf at the bottom of page 2 (of 161). This is one of the many ways that the IRS is helping us "pay [our] taxes honestly and of [our] own free will". After all getting "voluntarily" fleeced by the government is a "cornerstone principle of our democracy". In fact, it is so important that there are more people devoted to the tax business then there are armed forces currently inside the United States. Think about it, if the government was not able to obtain a constant source of revenue from the American people, the Federal Reserve Printing presses may run out of ink! Or worse yet, it may have to function within its Constitutionally limited bounds! (the horror!)

The helpful preface to the 1040 form goes on to say that:

Unfortunately, there will always be some that cheat their fellow citizens by avoiding the payment of their fair share of taxes. The IRS owes it to the millions of you who promptly pay your taxes in full to pursue these people through strong enforcement programs.

Remember, you can opt out of the system any time, but you'll be hunted like a dog, financially ruined, and thrown into jail. Don't question it, it's for your own good. Your other option of course is to become a prominent member of the Democrat party. Just make sure that you are not nominated for a cabinet position or else the plebs may find out that you are more equal then they are, and you may be expected to volunteer a small token to calm them.

Speaking of tax cheats, how is it that we are to trust Turbo Tax Timmy, a man that owes $34,000 in back taxes, to head our economy. Either he is a fraud, or his claims that he made "simple" mistakes preclude him from the job. If he is unable to keep his own financial affairs in order, how can he possibly be expected to run all of ours? Maybe the tax code is just too difficult... for the man responsible for it.
