Back to work...

[sionnsar]

Tax Quiz: How did Form 1040 get it's name?
Hint: Think like an accountant. ;-)

Because it was the next Form to be created (well, officially approved) after Form 1039?

[sionnsar]

So for any aspiring bed engineers, (Hey, Irish! That sounds dirty, too!) you would perhaps recommend drilling and pinning the joints?

That's what I would do. But only joints in vertical orientation,, so it would come out in "layers." But that could also be done in the future, after it's been sawn apart.

[tuliptree76]

You get a gold star too!

Now I really need to get back to work. LOL!

[sionnsar]

Wow! There might be someone out there who might find the "big paper" a little interesting. :-)

I never heard what "the big paper" was. This could be interesting!

[fanfan]

The Bureau of Internal Revenue was created when Congress passed the Internal Revenue Act of 1862. This act also created an income tax, taxes on a lot of goods, such as liquor, tobacco, medicines, and licenses on many services except for the clergy.

What excuse did they use that time?

Hint: Think like an accountant. ;-)

ROFLOL!

[sionnsar]

I see others got it too...

Really too easy. Understand, my job is very tied up with running committee 135. Which was the first committee created after committee 134.

[fanfan]

*thinking*

It taxed you at 10% for a certain amount, and 40% over that?

[fanfan]

As usual, it's too late for me to think.

:-(

[sionnsar]

'Face, you still here? How're you doing?

Finally got the 42WD home this afternoon, after taking it out to go to church yesterday morning. Just in time, though -- I barely made it up the hill (3rd time was the charm), and a little bit later we got some wind which knocked a bunch of snow off the trees.

And for all the foresight in taking the trash can out to the road yesterday morning, the trash services decided they weren't going to send their men out today. We're supposed to take the cans back home and bring two cans out next week. Grrr...

At least the storm that was going to dump (snow) on us early this evening seems to be breaking up and vanishing.

My first gold star of the year!

:proudly hangs it on the refrigerator:

[sionnsar]

"...licenses on many services except for the clergy."
What excuse did they use that time?

Someone put the fear of God into them?

[fanfan]

"...licenses on many services except for the clergy." What excuse did they use that time?

Not the clergy, The government! What did they say to get people to pay new taxes?

[sionnsar]

The government! What did they say to get people to pay new taxes?

"Your money or your life"?

[fanfan]

That might work.


But how does it fit in with that whole render unto Caesar thing?

If you're killed for taxes........

*scratching head*

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

What did they say to get people to pay new taxes?

It's only a temporary measure. For the war you know.

Of course the government whines like a colicky baby when you try to get them to repeal one of their "temporary taxes". We just got rid of the Spanish-American War Telephone tax. That war has been over for quite some time.

Now if we could just get rid of Puerto Rico....

[sionnsar]

Waittaminute. Are we talking licenses or taxes?

They tax clergy, just like they tax everyone else. (And clergy are often taxed by their flocks, but that's another story.)

But licensing clergy... brrr... seriously, way too much potential for trouble.

[sionnsar]

Now if we could just get rid of Puerto Rico....

Now if we could just get rid of Congress -- or give them, say, just one day a year to convene to conduct essential business...

[Monkey Face]

Yes, I'm still here. I had to take a phone call (if my line is busy, those "in the know" call me on my cell phone, and I get offline so they can call me on the landline) and it was longer than I thought it would be.

But I'm here...I think.

Sorry about your garbage.

[sionnsar]

Glad you're here!

The garbage, it's nothing. Once the snow is gone (a day or two) we'll deal with it.
