No kidding! People complain about the loss of power, they complain that Bush is wiretapping and listening in on their phone conversations yet they have no problem jumping through hoops, telling the IRS all kinds of personal information and wading through pages and pages of BS all in the hopes that they’ll get some of their own money backs. Messed up.
You forgot the part about them getting their own money back and moronically exclaiming how they "made out great this year!"
Yeah, like was suggested in the fairtax book, in the past couple weeks, I asked a few people how much they paid in taxes last year, and 8 out of 11 said they did not pay any taxes, they got a refund... They Had no clue how much they actually paid. One said he owed $452 and knew he already paid some, but not how much, One knew what his state & federal tax burden for the year was, from his tax forms... but did not consider how much he paid in Social Security and Medicare, and the last one said 34% of his gross income for the year, went to the government, not including sales tax and property tax. After, I told each one of them they should read the fairtax book, only the last one had even heard of it and he too was a supporter.
