Letter to the IRS?

[Noreaster]

Actual 'Letter to the Editor' from the February 5th edition of the
Wichita Falls , Texas Times Record News...


Dear IRS:

I am sorry to inform you that I will not be able to pay taxes owed
April 15, but all is not lost.

I have paid these taxes: accounts receivable tax, building permit tax,
CDL tax, cigarette tax, corporate income tax, dog license tax, federal
income tax, unemployment tax, gasoline tax, hunting license tax,
fishing license tax, waterfowl stamp tax, inheritance tax, inventory
tax, liquor tax, luxury tax, Medicare tax, city, school and county
property tax (up 33 percent last 4 years), real estate tax, social
security tax, road usage tax, toll road tax, state and city sales tax,
recreational vehicle tax, state franchise tax, state unemployment tax,
telephone federal excise tax, telephone federal state and local
surcharge tax, telephone minimum usage surcharge tax, telephone state
and local tax, utility tax, vehicle license registration tax, capitol
gains tax, lease severance tax, oil and gas assessment tax, Colorado
property tax, Texas, Colorado, Wyoming, Oklahoma and New Mexico sales
tax, and many more that I can't recall but I have run out of space and
money.

When you do not receive my check April 15, just know that it
is anhonest mistake. Please treat me the same way you treated Congressmen
Charles Rangel, Chris Dodd, Barney Frank and ex-Congressman Tom Daschle
and, of course, your boss Timothy Geithner. No penalties and no
interest.

Sincerely,

Ed Barnett
Wichita Falls

P.S. I will make at least a partial payment as soon as I get my
stimulus check.

shoot, we ain't seen the taxes yet... we've got a pile more to pay down now. couple that with record spending and we're bound to see tax increases or debt increases of record proportions.

All I can say is get on the Flat Tax bandwagon and stay there untill we get it accomplished.
It's getting to the point that I don't even know why I work. After taxes and everything that comes out of my check plus another 20% AFTER taxes in child support for my daughter....I actually keep less than 1/2 of what I earn.
Add sales tax to that when I buy stuff and I get to keep about 40% of my gross earnings.

It's sickening. I earn a 6 figure salary...but people on welfare "make" more money than I do I think.
