It’s not that we can’t fill out a simple tax return. The problem is that in so many cases, a simple tax return simply doesn’t exist., Anderson Independent Mail, 1-25-12

If you have been voting for politicians who promise to give you goodies at someone else’s expense, then you have no right to complain when they take your money and give it to someone else, including themselves. Thomas Sowell (1992) Order

Limit all U.S. politicians to two terms. One in office, one in prison. Detroit and Chicago already do this.

Cutting its (IRS) budget is like killing the goose that lays golden eggs -- or at least putting her in a smaller pen and feeding her less. By Selena Maranjian, The Motley Fool 2-1-12

Those politicians who rail against the complexity of the tax code and the reach of the IRS's authority thus need only look at themselves in the mirror to find who is to blame. NEIL H. BUCHANAN March 11, 2010

A Priest was being honored at his retirement dinner after 25 years in the parish. A leading politician and member of the congregation was chosen to make the presentation and to give a little speech at the dinner. However he was delayed so the priest decided to say his own few words while they waited. I got my first impression of the parish from the first confession I heard here. I thought I had been assigned to a terrible place. "The very first person who entered my confessional told me he had stolen a television set and, when questioned by the police, was able to lie his way out of it. He had stolen money from his parents, embezzled from his employer, had an affair with his boss's wife; he had taken illegal drugs and gave VD to his girlfriend. I was appalled. But as the days went on, I learned that my people were not all like that and I had, indeed, come to a fine parish full of good and loving people."

Just as the Priest finished his talk, the politician arrived full of apologies at being late. He immediately began to make the presentation and gave his talk: I'll never forget the first day our parish Priest arrived, said the politician In fact, I had the honor of being the first person to go to him for confession." And you wnder why Congress is such a mess

A new year begins, and one ends. The familiar sound of file cabinet drawers slamming, papers rustling, flapping folders and computer keystrokes can mean only one thing: time to file the annual tax returns. Sandra Taylor-Sawyer, 2-8-10

The real taxpayer rights:
You have the right to remain silent.
Anything you say (or we say you said) can and will be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to do exactly what we say or you will receive a visit from a godfather bearing a horse’s head without the rest of the horse. Harold Harmon 6-13-09 Durant Daily Democrat

Tax rates are based, not on gross income earned, but on adjusted gross income, computed by factoring in decades of special interest lobbying that change on an annual basis (you know, “sudden rate hikes”). Tim Higgins Toledo Free Press 5-15-09
