Default IRS Jerks

with a trembling hand i just made out my 4th quarter 2009 check to the IRS.

the bastards are doing EVERYTHING they can short of military action to kill small business in America.

I literally just HALVED my business account balance for these jerks.

why should i even work if im just going to have to hand half my profits over to this broke ass government?

Because

1. You garner the advantages of what your taxes pay for (whether you acknowledge it or not)

2. You still have the other half of your profits.

That's why you should continue to work.

Hope and change brother.
How about them tax cuts for the middle class, huh?
Oh wait - you must be one of those rich guys who makes over 250K and thats why your taxed high. Of course, you get stuck when they count ALL revenue as "making over 250K" because that doesn't count all your expenses for RUNNING your business.
Remember what the President said last night - he hasn't raised taxes ONE DIME!
(Apparently dimes were too small - so he did it in increments of ten dollar bills.)

Are we sure that wasn't "Hope to have some change left"?

That's assuming that the businesses are even paying their tax.

cf Comparison of the Reported Tax Liabilities of Foreign- and U.S.-Controlled Corporations,1998-2005 - GAO July 2008

Sure there are those 'fly under the radar' types but there the minority.

Most are law abiding tax paying buisness.

oh was there supposed to be a link?
