Tax time is upon us, and like every other year…. we pay.
And pay.
And pay.
And pay.
It’s bad enough the government swallows half our paycheck during the year..
But every April?
They want more. **
So I wait until April 14th to file.
I’m petty that way.
Tax laws have changed this year, and no… I’m not going to get political.
But the instructions on the payment voucher did make me laugh.
No checks of $100 million or more accepted?
Damn.
Now I’m going to have to get cash.
As if.
At first I thought, well… it must be nice to be able to write a check like that.
Yeah.
If you can write a check like that?
Chances are you won’t have to.
And that pretty much sums up our tax collection system.

It’s mind bending, trippy and totally rocks!
Our taxes are paid. We’re good little ‘mericans. 🇺🇸

Businesses which have a monopoly should at least have to pay Monopoly money, or have their GET OUT OF JAIL FREE card taken away.

Thank you very much! It is the citizens like you that give me the great retirement life I lead–not the ones with $100 million checks!

I’m not watching it yet. I read it and maybe, MAYBE when the series is all done I’ll watch it. Did you read it?
My husband has mandatory overtime during tax season. I hate that.

Great post, and I had not noticed the $100 million check limit before. That’s pretty funny.
