This was our first year of my “self employment” as a writer. Wow. My measly income comes with a 17% income tax. UNBELIEVABLE.
YOU STUPID IRS JERKS!!! You dumb ol’ Federal Reserve! As if it isn’t bad enough paying almost 10% sales tax, and the property tax, plus all the taxed taxes, surcharges, fees, and taxes in surcharges and fees, we have to pay income tax to the feds and state, too!
And ya know what else irks me? No, it’s not the fact that the taxes we pay go toward only the INTEREST for the debt incurred by our government… and no, it’s not the fact that Congress COULD ditch the Federal Reserve and go back to printing money interest-free according to the Constitution… and no, it’s not even the fact that the Federal Reserve Act and the direct tax is so un-Constitutional I could puke…
…it’s that Ron Paul ran for president saying that his first act as president would be to ditch the IRS– and he wasn’t elected!!! Do Americans just LOVE paying taxes or something?!
GAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’m a married mom with 4 kids. We live in Upstate New York in an old 1855 house with our five pets (yes, five, *sigh*). Life is never dull, and exciting things just seem to always happen to me... why me... when I'm not running around the house fixing things, I do freelance writing and blogging. My work and opinions have appeared in Salon.com, USAToday, eHow.com, iMedia.com, the Associated Press and I've even been interviewed by TIME and The Wall Street Journal about blogging. Can you believe it?! Here is where I express my zany, creative, motherly side.

… and they love dying on foreign soil for no good reason … and they love having official people tell them what to eat and what to do … and they love government … but I repeat myself.
At least your return is done and you don’t have to think about it for another year. Ours still looks like the kitty picture – sorted.

This is actually the first time I’ve heard that Ron Paul was planning to disband the IRS. Maybe he didn’t advertise loud enough. I don’t have a tv, so a personal visit might have helped…
Two years ago we had to file a return with self-employment income from my husband. That was a nightmare, and I feel for you.
