Unless you live in New England and some other parts of the Northeast. Tax day for them is April 18th due to "Patriots Day."

That’s utterly unfair that we have to pay one day early. Of course I’m expecting money back....

"Of course I’m expecting money back...."
One more example (sorry, Whistler!) of the biggest con job in history, the joy of getting out own money back after the government has had the use of it for a year… and no interest paid back with the refund.
Phooey! Ray Kroc wasn’t anywhere near as capable a marketer, and he sold the equivalent of 13 burgers to every human being on the face of the planet during his lifetime.

I’m just pointing out that it wouldn’t do me any good to hold my return one more day as I’m expecting a refund check. The prime amount of that relates to the Child tax credit and that I do want to overpay by a small amount.

Happy Slavery Day!

I’m no economist but I was wondering if anyone knew the answer to this:
If our nation operates in a global marketplace, why are is that poll only interested in the GDP for it’s metric of how much is taxed?
Since some companies producing stuff in the states (domestic) are selling that stuff overseas, with a tax accrued (assumed), don’t we have to use the larger [I forget the other Gross _____ Product, help please] number?
Our tax revenue is both the income taxes collected from employees of domestic companies and the sales tax collected from thier products? Right?
Feel free to make any corrections in my assumptions.

Happy Tax Hell day.
I’d like to personally thank the Democrats and RINOs for putting this nation through this kind of bullshit and for wasting millions of man hours nationwide on this "fair" tax that is designed so that "the rich" "pay their fair share".
I’d like to wish my big middle finger to the gawddamn socialist government up in MI. May you rot in Hell you silly bastards. God help the state that has a socialist Canuck carpetbagger as governor.

Lik,
Don’t beat around the bush. Tell us what you really think.

Tom,
The Gross National Product (GNP) numbers reported by the government, along with Gross Domestic Product (GDP), Rate of Unemployment, Trade deficit numbers, federal budget numbers, and most of the rest of the cacaphony of statistics produced by the Department of Labor, Department of the Treasury, Bureau of Labor Statistics, Office of Manangement and Budget, Congressional Budget Office, Federal Reserve Banks, are almost without exception imprecise, arguable, subject to interprestation and further revision, and in the end proof of but one thing: namely that the greatest force in the universe is inertia.

What about those of us who have stopped paying federal income taxes? It’s just another day for yours truly.
It’s Tax Day!
