Crabby Blogging Lady

I haven’t gotten my W-2 forms yet, but my stomach hurts already, in anticipation of finagaling through those crappy tax forms. And I live in New York, so it’s DOUBLY painful! I don’t see why I have to claim income tax on money from foreigners who’ve hired me out. It’s not fair. Really, it’s not. And really, I don’t think the Income Tax is legal. Yep, I’m one of those cynical, tea-partying, flag-waving kooks who thinks this country is run by bureaucrats. Voting doesn’t mean a THING anymore! Everyone is “appointed” today, especially those thugs from the IRS!

Where was I?

Oh yes, taxes and death. One and the same.

I saw this news story: not even the IRS Commissioner can do his own taxes, the code is TOO complex!! Well, hell yeah! Duh!

IRS Commissioner Douglas Shulman does not file his own taxes in part because he believes the tax code is complex.

During an interview on C-SPAN’s “Newsmakers” program that aired on Sunday, Shulman said he uses a tax preparer for his own returns.

“I’ve used one for years. I find it convenient. I find the tax code complex so I use a preparer,” Shulman said.

Pressed on how he would make the tax code simpler, Shulman responded, “I don’t write the tax laws. Congress writes the tax laws so that’s a whole different discussion.”

Ohhhhh Congress writes the laws, it’s all Congress’ fault! Well, yes, I guess it is! Congress’ first blunder (accidentally on purpose) was to ram that Federal Reserve Act down our throats in 1913. They convened on late Christmas Eve and passed the bill into law, a law that would forever enslave our income to private bankers!! GAH! Don’t you think for one second that your tax money goes to pay for anything in this country– not for defense, not for welfare, nothing. All our taxes go toward the “national debt.” The national debt is a farce, too– you see, according to the U.S. Constitution, ONLY Congress is supposed to coin our money, to issue the currency, and regulate the value of it. But in 1913, after much lobbying by bankers, Congress gave the Federal Reserve Bank the power to coin our money, issue the currency, and regulate the value. And Congress PAYS the Federal Reserve for the favor. On top of all that, when Congress needs money, the Federal Reserve will give Congress ITS OWN money at INTEREST! The interest is now so high that this is where all our taxes are going– to pay off the principal interest.

And that’s all not to mention that a direct tax is unConstitutional…. it is illegal for the government to tax the wages of the American people, because it is not “corporate profit” (which is a Constitutional tax). Are children being taught this in school? NO! They’re being taught about quick weight loss, how to put ******* on bananas, and write letters to politicians, asking them to make snowmen with them!

If the tax code and the stress from overwork PAYING all these taxes doesn’t kill ya, it’ll send you to the looney bin…. sheesh….
