If you're like me, and I know I am...

I gotta admit ...

Probably the best thing about the Internet (besides the ability to download porn 24 hours a day on a whim) is the ability to do you taxes in a half hour for nine bucks. I do feel sorry for tax preparers who won't be able to charge me 80 0r 90 dollars to fuck me anymore. I have only myself to blame. Filling out a 1040EZ isn't rocket science. One simple gets all wiggy when it comes to the IRS. God knows when they will descend upon even the poorest of us just to go over our returns for the last 10 years. I'm sure I've got two in a drawer, one in the trunk of my car, one in my bag and two stored electronically. There's probably a couple under the bed for all I know.

Frankly, I wish the governement would just take their freakin' blood money out of my check and keep whatever percentage they think is appropriate to maintain society. True, it's not very Libertarian of me, but it is honest on all fronts. They're gonna do what they're gonna do and I'd rather not fuck with it. Let the people who are trying to get out of paying their fair share file and the rest of us who are willing to just let it go can relax. No audits, no fuss, just take it. Who are we kidding anyway? They can take what they want. Making an entire nation file a form is just a good way to generate fear and to move a few dollars from me to an accountant out into the economy.
