The Tax Man Commeth

I think “the Tax Man Commeth” would be a great horror flick.  It could be a satire/parody/homage to the great horror flicks and all those great movies about taxes.  Which brings up another question, why aren’t there any movies about taxes?

Benjamin Franklin said the only two sure things in life are death and taxes.  We have countless movies about death and none about taxes.  Is this because taxes are scarier then death?

I’m working on my taxes today.  Since I’ve done all the fun stuff (redid this blog, cleaned my office, put together a puzzle with my kids, watched some of my favorite films from childhood with my kids [Man from the Snowy River]) it is now time to work on one of the sure things.

Normally I look forward to tax time because I usually get a refund.  This year I probably owe Uncle Sam.  I’ve always said that I don’t mind paying my taxes, but that was when it came out a little at a time and it didn’t amount to much because of all my tax deductions running around downstairs.  This year is different (for various reasons) and now I will be sending “them” a check.  Someone’s got to pay for all the alien cover up stories.  JK  Seriously, someone has got to pay for the CIA to create all of the alien hysteria.  Or is it the Mossad?  I forget who I’m to blame this week.

Now for the moment of truth.  The moment we all dread once we learn about “no taxation without representation.”  The time to pay the tax man.  Hopefully he will be kind and leave me with the cheap souvenir shirts I bought as a teenager.  I can avoid it no longer, time to sit down, open up Turbotax and ask God once again what He meant by “thou shalt not lie.”
