Of course we all love to pay taxes! I thought everybody already knew that. Not!
I like to pay taxes when I have the money just to keep the revenue service off my back. It prevents them from seizing my home and property so they can take what they want. Yes, I've been threatened by the Internal Revenue Service for the sake of two-thousand dollars underpaid due to an error in a tax software program. They waited for three years before calling me in for an audit. The delay was deliberate because the penalties and interest added up to more than the amount underpaid. By time I got the final bill it was over four-thousand dollars, which I did not have. This resulted in their threat to take my home away from me.
The idiots who came up with this idea that we like to pay taxes should be compelled to pay my taxes each year. Being the unselfish person I am, I want them to have all the pleasure.
