I just finished my taxes-after having to take a time out to do some research on one particular set of deductions and non-deductions. I even ended up calling the IRS-where a very helpful lady helped me run the numbers to make sure I had it right. Guess we need to f*ck her out of her pension.
Now-in tebagger land, I should be outraged at the taxes I am paying. But I am not-taxes are a fact of life, and I for one want lots of services from the government. Unfortunately, we don’t get near the level of services available elsewhere.
Probably the biggest lesson I have learned is how much room to live there is-once you know what your income stream is. And for all I complain about the S.O.-she is a saving machine, and has taught me how to be one too. Had my ex been that way ( and been a FM too), who knows how rich I might be? But it would be a sin to complain-so as much as I like to on other days-today I won’t. My taxes reminded how truly blessed I am compared to other Americans who are getting screwed daily by the policies advocated by that worthless piece of human excrement Allen West, Eric Cantor and any one of your friendly neighborhood teabaggers.
The video below however, points out something you should be outraged about. I didn’t cause the recession and I pay my taxes.
Unlike some people who a) did cause the recession and then decided to put the blame on us and b) didn’t pay their taxes-but were more than willing to exploit Indonesians, Bangladeshis, Vietnamese, Filipinos etc etc.
Allen West-go f*ck your self!
