Tax Time!

[T'ai Chi]

I like the IRS, because by the time I get a refund check, it is like free money because by that time I have forgotten I've paid taxes.

If I was about to die, I'd spend my dying days reading IRS publications. That way my days would seem to last forever.

Anyone with me on a Constitutional amendment stating that no law is enforceable which is beyond the comprehension of a person of normal intelligence putting in a reasonable amount of research?

Dumbass with a HUGE tax refund coming....

Thus proving my point. Any special reason why you allowed the government to hold your money all year? You could have been earning interest on it the whole time. Of course you aren't used to handling money, so maybe it was a rookie mistake. Or maybe you're a bigger dumbass than we thought.

Actually, considering that the alternative is 1.8% in a CD, an interest free loan to the government doesn't bother me all that much, especially for the amount that I get back at the end.

So you would rather have your money back rather than your money + 1.8% interest? That's weird.

Maybe you should check current interest rates, d!ckhead. Unless you don't care if all your cash is stuck in a T-bill for years, it ain't worth it. Not unless it's you and you're a complete moron, I mean, then it doesn't matter cause you'd probably buy something stupid with your money like a Geo or a panty-waist F150.

Well, you could always invest in the Stock Market...

Generally speaking the fact that you don't understand the tax code is a defense to a criminal charge of tax evasion. It just isn't a defense to civil enforcement and collection of back taxes, interest, and penalties.

Other than that we wind up with the central problem of law:

1) If it is too simple the loopholes are obvious and injustice occurs.

vs.

2) If it is too complex people do not understand and injustice occurs.

along with

3) If the law is too specific it will fail to anticipate all possible scenerios leading to absurdity and injustice.

vs.

4) If the law is too general application will either be inconsistent depending on the Judge, causing injustice, or require a system of authority and opinion reporting (go to (2) above).

You apparently have a reading comprehension problem.
