Teabaggers?

Well, we see today that thousands of people have gotten together to protest the unreasonable taxes that we have been afflicted with over the years. Of course, these are peaceful protests and as such, they will do little (if any) good. The politicians have gotten entirely too comfortable in their offices. They think that they can do whatever they want TO us and they don't have to suffer the consequences. At worst they figure that they'll get a few less votes and have to have to go back to the civilian life and be on the board of directors of some company or maybe end up as a well paid lobbyist. Politicians should FEAR the public. Maybe if we lynched all of them who voted on the Pork-ulus Bill or voted for higher taxes, they might get the right idea. We don't need more Tea Parties, we need an armed revolt against a government that has gotten completely out of control and abandoned the principles that were set down by the Founding Fathers. We didn't get rid of the British by having demonstrations with people hanging tea bags from their hats -- we got rid of them by force.

I see a lot of people these days using the electronic filing method for their taxes. I refuse to do anything to make it easier for the IRS to extort money from me. I take the 20 pages of tax forms, stuff them in a normal size envelope, put some packing tape across the back so that the envelope flap will stay shut, spit on it a couple of times, and then drive over it a few times in my truck so that it will be nice and flattened.

In some ways, I would like to see everyone on April 15th send the IRS a letter bomb, but I doubt it would do much good. All it would do is get rid of the low level crooks whereas the high level crooks would not be affected. Did you ever wonder what type of person decides to work for the IRS? People who didn't quite succeed in organized crime, perhaps?

Oh well... It's April 15th... I feel a need to rant and blow off some steam... I'm sure that there are plenty of other people out there that feel the same way, but in the end, we'll all be good little sheep and pay our taxes because the government can get rather vindictive if think that you are not giving them enough of your hard earned money. There might even be people who are far enough out there that they might even do something, but these are also the people who pay so little in taxes that they don't have a reason do actually do anything. Those of us who make enough to actually hate the IRS and the convoluted tax laws out there are also the ones who have too much to lose to actually do anything about it. Kind of funny how that works out, isn't it?
