IRS Humor

Posted on 03/03/2006 7:40:34 AM PST by mr_hammer

Dear IRS,

Enclosed is my 2005 tax return showing that I owe $3,407.00 in taxes. Please note the attached article from USA Today, wherein you will see the Pentagon is paying $171.50 for hammers and NASA has paid $600.00 for a toilet seat. I am enclosing four toilet seats (value $2400) and six hammers (value $1029), bringing my total remitted to $3429.00. Please apply the overpayment of $22.00 to the "Presidential Election Fund," as noted on my return. You can do this inexpensively by sending them one 1.5" Phillips Head screw (article from USA Today detailing how HUD pays $22.00 each for 1.5" Phillips Head Screws is enclosed for your convenience.) It has been a pleasure to pay my tax bill this year, and I look forward to paying it again next year.

Sincerely, A Satisfied Taxpayer

I think that we should take the number of taxpayers divided by the number of illegals here and enter that number on line 6d form 1040 as dependants that they are.

I was looking at my cable bill the other day, and ticked off to see I was paying 13% "communication" tax.

It comes to quite a bit of money.

If Republicans ever take charge of Washington D.C., they'll fix it - won't they?

The "new" Republicans have control of the government---they just won't use it or have become corrupted.

Oh, for just a year of Ronaldus Magnus!

I'd chuckle out loud if it weren't so sad.

Long-time Republican, first time Constitutional Party.

LOL - money has no political affiliation. Politicos on both sides of the isle worship it as if it were a golden idol. Frankly, they all make me sick.

Look at your cell phone bill if you have one.

I pay 19% tax.

Don't forget the taxes that businesses, corporations, restaurants, car washes, department stores, etc., etc., etc. pass on to us as part of the cost of goods we buy.
