Chic, IL Unhappy Tax Day!

I just thought I'd start a thread that we can rant and rave about how we hate income tax. This is the first time I've ever owed the amount that I did this year, and now I'm practically broke. Time to start a new credit card debt.

yes, taxes SUCK! but credit card debt sucks even more!

don't do it man

 

This reminds me of this song by The Fools:

LIFE SUCKS, THEN YOU DIE

This is a song about life as a spiraling force moving through the universe,
unencumbered by modular time concepts. It's called "Life Sucks, Then You Die".

My house burned down in a flash of thunder.
My wife ran off with a one-legged plumber.
My crops fell dead when the riverbed went dry.
My dog got squashed by a pickup truck.
My son ran away and got hooked on drugs.
My daughter's knocked up by the class of '85.

People say that life is good;
It don't seem good to me.
I'm lost without a paddle,
And I'm headed up **** creek.
People say that life is fun,
But I don't know why.
As far as I can tell,
LIFE SUCKS then you die.

The government dumps its toxic waste
Right on top of my mother's grave.
A team of experts say it won't do her no harm.
But my sheep went crazy and killed my mule.
I cut off my d*** with a power tool
Fixin' the hole where the meteor hit the barn.
(And it hurt, too!)

People say that life is good,
But I just piss and moan.
I got one foot on a banana peel,
The other in the Twilight Zone.
People say that life is fun,
But I don't know why.
As far as I can tell,
LIFE SUCKS then you die.

Let me hear some "yee-hah"s out there!

I went to the store to buy some shells.
My gun went off and blew the owner to hell.
Now I'm sittin' here in jail, singin' this song.
And one guy wants to cut me with a knife.
Another guy wants me to be his wife.
Hey, I wish they'd hang me before somethin' really goes wrong!

People say that life is good,
Give thanks for what you have.
When all you have is nothin',
Nothin' makes you glad.
People say that life is fun,
But I don't know why.
As far as I can tell,
LIFE SUCKS, then you die.
I said, people say that life is fun,
But I don't know why.
As far as I can tell,
LIFE SUCKS,
LIFE SUCKS,
LIFE SUCKS, then you die.

Let me hear some "yee-hah"s out there!

Sorry to hear of your tax woes!

As for me, I'm getting a nice refund, so you won't hear any whining from me!

 

I sentence you to Heck, MJS. Here I am a poor college student who makes minimum wage yearly and they take more of my money.
Of course that is because my employer set up my taxes wrong on my paychecks, but still. I want my money back.

 

We was actually lucky this year, we got back $175 from federal and $100 from state. To bad it is already spend

 

Grammar police fines you $175. There goes your federal refund.

 

I had everything all ready to go, and brought it all to work yesterday to make copies before putting it in the mail.

First, I missed the deadline for when the postman picks up our company's mail.

Then, I left work without the tax returns, and not having made the copies.

I go to a meeting on Monday night, and afterwards someone mentioned taxes and I realized my mistake.

So I proceed BACK to the office, made the copies, and headed towards home, planning on stopping by the post office.

I was so absorbed in the radio broadcast of the Blues hockey game that I drove on autopilot all the way home. As I was gathering my belongings from the car, I saw the darn envelopes.

I went to the closest post office and they didn't appear to be accepting late returns. So I had to drive to the NEXT closest post office which WAS, thank the Maker, accepting late returns, and dropped those off.

The moral of this story is: you do NOT have to be a chicken to run around as if your head was cut off.

BTW, the grammar police would like to thank BDZ for his contribution. BF, I think you might owe some too.

 

I never said I was an English Proffesor.

I think Jedigal needs to do her taxes a little bit earlier next year.
