This year in the US, there were 7 different ways to file your income taxes.

Unfortunately, all of them were wrong.

One old adage sez the only things certain in life are death & taxes.

Unfortunately though, they don't come in that order.

Seems to me the only possible fair tax structure is one that allows everyone to cheat evenly.

With the quality of education declining in the US, and even colleges turning out semi-literate idiots, I understand the IRS is considering a new simplified tax form where all you have to do is color it in.

Once a tax auditor came directly to my house. My son answered the door and yelled to Mrs JimJr, "Ma, it's the tax man."

She replied, "Well, give him a chair."

He said, "If that's not enuff, should I give him the TV too ?"

I remember vividly the first time I heard the teacher use the word "syntax" in English Class. Naturally, y'all know it refers to the structure of a sentence.

But just imagine being a teenager and thinking that you had just learned that there was a tax on sin. I mean, I could hardly afford gas for my car as it was.

Alright you economists out there, explain this one to me. The other day in the newspaper were two separate articles in the financial section. One stated that the US dollar is now worth about 30 cents.

The other article, dealing with taxes, said that 46 cents of every American's income dollar goes to taxes.

No wonder I'm in the red every month !
