APRIL 15 - IT IS THE DAY TO PAY THE PIPER - AND OTHER COLLECTED SAYINGS...

America is a land of taxation that was founded to avoid taxation.  ~Laurence J. Peter I'm proud to pay taxes in the United States; the only thing is, I could be just as proud for half the money.  ~Arthur Godfrey Unquestionably, there is progress.  The average American now pays out twice as much in taxes as he formerly got in wages.  ~H.L. Mencken Did you ever notice that when you put the words "The" and "IRS" together, it spells "THEIRS?"  ~Author Unknown Income tax returns are the most imaginative fiction being written today.  ~Herman Wouk Of course the truth is that the congresspersons are too busy raising campaign money to read the laws they pass.  The laws are written by staff tax nerds who can put pretty much any wording they want in there.  I bet that if you actually read the entire vastness of the U.S. Tax Code, you'd find at least one sex scene ("'Yes, yes, YES!' moaned Vanessa as Lance, his taut body moist with moisture, again and again depreciated her adjusted gross rate of annualized fiscal debenture").  ~Dave Barry The government’s view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases:  If it moves, tax it.  If it keeps moving, regulate it.  And if it stops moving, subsidize it.  ~Ronald Reagan Intaxication:  Euphoria at getting a refund from the IRS, which lasts until you realize it was your money to start with.  ~Author unknown, from a Washington Post word contest Happy Tax Day Suckers!
