Oh yes, it's that time of year. We went to visit Mr. Tax Man this week. A nice man really. Quiet, but efficient and down to business. Just what we wanted in a tax preparer.
I know there is Turbo Tax and that it's really easy to do yourself. But, I'm rather content with giving my money to a professional to worry about them. We gave him our unorganized stack of documents and he was supposed to make magic happen. Like...poof! Here's a late Christmas present.
But no, I am in pure agony that we have to pay this year. The IRS is taking more of our money. Well, Mr. Tax Man (and other people) told us it was a good thing we owed because it meant that the government took less of our money throughout the year. I understand this reasoning, but why do I feel the money that goes to the government is basically sucked into a financial black hole?
Damn the IRS.
Thank you to the Beatles for describing it perfectly.
"Let me tell you how it will be,
There's one for you, nineteen for me.
Cause I'm the taxman, yeah, I'm the taxman.
If you drive a car, I'll tax the street.
If you try to sit, I'll tax your seat.
If you get too cold, I'll tax the heat.
If you take a walk, I'll tax your feet."
