I guess it's always the work horse that gets it in the ass. I was wondering how I could have had zero, I repeat, zero NC state income tax exemptions for 2001 yet I still had to cut the thieving useless sacks of infected monkey sh!t state revenuers a check. I think I'm fed up with them all.
Two days ago while I was at the gym my lifting partner (a caterer) and another guy that was working out started up a conversation. The guy works for the state (gainfully employed welfare recipient) and the guy found out that my friend's company can do large spreads. The guy said that he might be interested in having my friend come out there and cater a nice meal for them. He said they have alot of money left over from their budget and that if they didn't use it for somehting they would lose it. Well I just about lost it there. I guess giving back what you don't use after you extorted it in the first place is out of the question. This is the kind of crap that leads to larger and larger budgets and more and more taxes.
Oh well, Death To Tyrants!
