Why not January 1st?
>>What do you mean the original headline? That is the original headline. I did make a typo in the first name of the author though. Instead of Terry, I typed Rerry. Please note that the letter “R” is right next to the letter “T”
I asked the Admin moderator to correct it, but he must be still sleeping<<
Note to Future historians: *tsk* *tsk* *tsk* :)
Yeah a couple of Freepers responded to the headline w/o even STARTING to read the article.
The demarcation would be the second person who agreed with mt “cognitive dissonance” post.
So the old running joke about posting without reading the articles has some legs to it LOL
Media has made it a propaganda tool that most never get past the headline.
Bury the real facts in paragraph 13 and most will never know ‘the rest of the story’.
“then you are a freaking idiot! Did you think you wouldn’t have to pay the taxes?”
That’s me. I’m happy to owe. I’m just fine with paying penalties, up to a point.
Now, I’m not a total idiot, I always have the money to pay, but I always owe a lot. I like it that way.

Those commercials aren’t pointed at you — it means “owe AND CAN’T PAY.”
Yeah, I think you should not give Uncle Sam one red cent until the last possible second. A few bucks in penalties makes sound fiscal sense if your opportunity cost is higher by turning it over.
If you have it, it isn’t “owing” in the way those commercials meant.
I am yelling at the idiots who don’t save for tax day. It’s a comin’
Maybe I’m just overly-cynical in my old age.
Or, maybe “tax reform” really IS just a perpetual, stupid joke being retold every couple years because so many people keep falling for it.
