Look at it this way: It's the entire tax bill of several thousand of your neighbors.
Now, go tell them it's "nothing". In government terms, of course.
I've so had it with this kind of rationalization crap. Go bow down to your Big Stupid Republican Government. I plan to kick it in the nuts.
If those neighbors decided to not pay their taxes in protest of this, do you expect George the Bush to offer them amnesty?
