We contend that for a nation to try to tax itself into prosperity is like a man standing in a bucket and trying to lift himself up by the handle

A quote from Winston Churchill. He and I share the same birthday...not the actual day, as I would be QUITE old (and I do feel old, but not THAT old).

Taxes. 'Nuff said. I need to start thinking about them. The forms are arriving.

Last year, there was a significant delay in the IRS issuing my tax refund. I was quite pleased to see that I had been paid interest for the delay (and, btw, the delay was never explained). Today, I received my 1099 form from the IRS. I know that all interest is taxed, but somehow, this seems a little circular. Or not.

My brain is tired. I think I will go feed the dogs. Remember....it's a privilege to have enough income to be taxed, it's a privilege to have enough income to be taxed.....
