The IRS and how they like to fuck you

Well, as I'm sure you know, it's tax day. Did you file yours? Are you worried about it? Did you make sure to file quick so you can get that nice advance on your taxes next year, which you will be required to file taxes on? Without going into big detail here, because quite frankly, I'm enjoying my Guinness, we all know that the IRS basically fucks the middle class in the ass. Because we represent the majority, we pay a shitload in taxes. Now, the upper class, or 'elites' as some dickhead politicians might say, do pay a good amount, but when you make millions a year, well, you can afford to pay millions a year. Many of us reside in that middle area, somewhere between 35k-100k depending on where you live (and it really does depend, as 35k in Arkansas goes as far as double that in many areas of the country), and paying 20-30% out to the IRS is nothing short of bending over, forgoing the KY, and proclaiming 'Give it to me so you can send more money to Iraq!' So, the IRS bleaches our ass, and if you get lucky, own a house, have kids, blah and blah, maybe you get a chunk of that back. Maybe, like some people I know, you blatantly lie to get more money back and hope no one notices. Me, I'm simple. 1040EZ. Quick, easy, I don't lie or cheat on them, I don't make believe I use X percentage of my house for business (I wouldn't know what percentage my ass and my laptop take up on my couch are), etc., but, unfortunately, I'm lazy. That can be easily assessed by how often I update web shit, or by how often I've mopped my kitchen in the last year. So, I haven't always filed my return when owed money. Ohhh shit, Sam owes me 85$, better get that shit in the mail now! I NEED that money now. Well, I didn't, so, I didn't.. which brings me to the next paragraph.

This week, what really has my fired up, is the IRS's Statute of Limitations on filing returns. Did you know, that the IRS can come after YOU for 10 years for their money, but, god forbid YOU don't file a return and they owe YOU money, YOU have only 3 years to file and get YOUR money. If you don't file, guess what, Uncle Sam keeps it, forever gone.

That has got to be one of the most fucked up things I've ever heard of. My own government, who I pay taxes to support, won't give me the money they owe me after 3 years if I don't file, but RESERVES the right to fuck me to the tune of 10 years, plus penalties, assessments, garnishments, etc, if I owe them.

Lesson one of the day - file your taxes

Lesson two - your government fucks you daily and is happy to do it - if this is a surprise to you, try voting.

Needless to say I'm sending the fuckers all my old returns just to waste some of their time. Maybe it will save some poor soul from getting audited.
