Breaking Drudge.... Nothing follows.

I was reading an earlier thread about the IRS and clicked on a link that pointed me over to the IRS' Tax Terms. I don't know who came up with these terms but I think it proves that our taxes are not being used properly in the education system, not to mention the way they try to make you feel good about being a U.S. taxpayer. I don't know about everybody else but when I have to pay taxes I DON'T FEEL GOOD !!
