I guess you just have to laugh at them! I feel the same way about taxes. I know of one woman here in my town who is a drug addict and draws a disability check. She never works, stays home and does drugs, and my friend is raising her child. Nevertheless, she gets a HUGE tax refund every year.

Today, I have been blessed to NOT have to deal with taxes.

Before starting the joys of home life and home business life, I was an accountant, and I can only sum it up like this........ it's sick.<br /><br />The lower the tax rate the less need for a write off expense ugh! Who would care about a 1% savings on a high expense, and we could keep 99% what we worked so hard for in the first place.
