The IRS is definitely in a sad state of affairs.

I love Rumsfeld. He is a good American.

I blame congress as much as the cronies in the IRS. Our representatives need to man up and take back control.

FDR wrote a similar letter back in the day.

I sure hope Rummy isn’t going to be targeted for an audit now after sending in that letter.

Rumsfeld blew their minds with his “unknown unknowns” comment back in the day.

He shouldn’t worry. The IRS would have to read it to find out what’s in it. These days, most government employees don’t bother to read anything anyway. Especially those commie jugheads up on Capitol Hill.

The next Republican platform should include a statement pledging a net reduction in the size of the federal register and tax codes respectively.

The IRS does not know either.

If you call the IRS help line, you often get different answers to the same question.

If you talk to an IRS agent, they often give different answers.

As long as Rummy isn’t attending any TEA Party rallies, he should be safe ;)

Don’t worry Donald, the IRS will be delighted to point out the error of your ways.

I’m an MBA but I pay a guy to do my taxes. Its because I’m an MBA that I pay a guy. I trust him which is the only reason I think they’re done right.

I used to do my taxes years ago but now I pay a guy to do them. He has a PHD and his firm charges an exorbitant amount for the service.

I'm happy to pay to avoid the aggravation and for plausible deniability since I'm convinced it's impossible to not violate some rule or other.

Unfortunately there is no plausible deniability when it comes to your tax returns. Once you sign it, you own it, even if you didn’t prepare it and didn’t read it.

I don’t even do the 1040EZ for my kids. It’s like volunteering for aggravation.

Of course you’re right; it’s a psych game I play to retain what little’s left of my sanity.

Dear Donald,
There IS a common sense, liberty based fix for the despotic tax system under which we stupidly suffer.
It’s described in the 4 1/2 minute video at the link.
If you agree, PLEASE SHARE THIS POST.
If you DO NOT, gently clank your chains. (Not too loud or massa might notice and become angry.)
