Tax Shenanigans
08 April 2003-1:03 p.m.
I've done my Federal taxes. I make little enough money that I qualify for a free e-file. Whee! But they wanted money to do my state ones. Yeah that'll happen. I 'm one of the lucky ones who has so little money that doing my taxes is not very hard. (all I could think was doing my taxes is not very taxing but I couldn't bring myself to write it in seriousness *heeheehee*) But I was reading Dave Barry and I thought this idea was a good one. "Here's my proposal, which is based on the TV show Survivor: We put the entire Congress on an island. All the food on this island is locked inside a vault, which can be opened only by an ordinary American taxpayer named Bob. Every day, the congresspersons are given a section of the Tax Code, which they must rewrite so that Bob can understand it. If he can, he lets them eat that day; if he can't, he doesn't."
Just thought I'd share a little tax related humor. It's really fun working in a library. We live for the end of tax season. As a matter of fact on April 16th the friends of the library buy us all pizza. Yum....pizza.....
