I fought the [s]law[/s] IRS and...Follow

Except for three things:

1) I did pay taxes. I just didn't calculate exactly how much I should have paid and informed the government to adjust for the difference. For all I knew, I could have overpaid on taxes that year and been out a refund.

2) I knew that if I underpaid I would eventually have to pay the difference. All I was doing was delaying the point at which said difference (if any) would have to be paid. At no point did I ever think "I'll never have to deal with this".

3) Addendum to point above: Had it turned out that I had overpaid, the IRS would not have come after me to make sure I got my money back. So to suggest that my action was selfish rather than just foolish is pretty darn ridiculous. I was setting myself up for a situation where I was either screwed because I failed to get a refund I was owed, or I was screwed because I'd eventually have to pay the difference plush penalties and interest.


Oh... And four: This is not, by any definition, tax evasion, fraud, or anything remotely criminal. And I'm still struggling to see how this in any way affects my right to complain about how my government spends my tax dollars. In the grand scheme of taxes I've paid over my lifetime, the amount I'd underpaid that one year is pretty insignificant even if one ignores the fact that ultimately I paid more than that anyway.


And if we really want to get technical, I underpaid during the Bush administration and overpaid during the Obama administration. So um... play politics with that if you want.

Seeing as how we've long since established your sense of humor is nonexistant, your commentary on the quality of my joke is hardly noteworthy. Then again, someone who holds paying taxes to the same heights as jay walking and slightly loud music doesn't have much clout on any matter, really. Ahh, so instead of "I didn't file," you meant "I knowingly filed fraudulently." You're right, that was my mistake. I guess lying and not owning up to the lie until you were caught is better.

How do you turn "Hey guys, I got a buttload of tax rebate money" into FIVE paragraphs?


Any way, what Turin said.

Still making the same mistake, I see.



Really? That was weak even for you. It's like you have some pathological need to misstate every single thing someone else says or does. You might just want to seek professional help for that!

I see you're parroting things I've said to you basically word for word, which actually elevates my accuracy to Joph levels of "Gbaji-***-Owning." I'm glad you've come to accept that I'm right, as usual, even if you can't say it directly because of your need to rationalize.

Depends, sometime they do. Assuming you didn't file or overpaid on your filed amount. If you didn't select the optimal deductions you're just SOL for not being smart enough to game the system.

Killing time, actually.

Gbajijevich it is. Good call, Elinda.

More like Gbajijekvetch or Gbajijebitch...

I keep doing the same thing. And I agree, coleslaw is from the debbil, just like foosball.

I support this. Though I will probably butcher the spelling frequently.

Or add a t to though...

Agreed, bad slaw is terrible, but good slaw is awesome. There's such a variety too, hard to just write it off.
