Not bad, but the narrator needed to have a deeper, more ominous voice.

“Career syphilis.” [thumbs up]

If I owed taxes I would be waiting until 15 April, but I got a refund so I filed in January as soon as I got my paperwork.

Parasite.

Shouldn’t they have waited til Friday to post this? It would’ve made a great Friday Funnies.

I’ve got a great accountant. I always owe taxes, close to the maximum allowable without being penalized. That means more interest-bearing cash for me for a year.

SF,

You better a parasite than a duel refusing chicken.

I could jack up my federal exemptions more, but on the the State side they have not discovered how to let people do that. Apparently another line on the form is too expensive.

Duels are only for the paying classes. Someone needs to burn you out with a cigarette.

SugarFree was challenged by HEB and he ran away, he ran away!

Could you two ladies get a room, please? Shit, I thought NutraSweet was my bitch but now I see he’s cheating on me.

[High Every Body]

Could you two ladies get a room, please?

Chill man. You can keep her.

After discovering that I don’t have to to PMCS on a M109A6 155 SP for this cancelled duel I am hooking up with Zoot and her identical twin sister Dingo at Castle Anthrax.

Shoe’s not too funny when it’s on the other foot, is it?

Don’t you think you should apologize to crimethink?

Democrats don’t have to pay taxes. By nature, they are hypocritical lying fucks.

As long as we’re talking about government “educational video,” here’s a link to a short film I did a few years back. It’s based on the concept of what the federal government would release today to teach Americans how to be good citizens. It’s called, “We’re the Government — and You’re Not.” It was in 20 film festivals (mostly smaller ones) and picked up a few awards, but it’s very, very low-budget.

David – Cut out the opening to that short and drop it right on this site. Better music, better VO & better camera work… nice.

If I was God-King for a day, I believe I would confine myself to two (2) Constitutional amendments:

(1) There shall be no withholding or prepaying of taxes. All taxes due shall be paid in full on an annual basis.

(2) Tax Day shall be Election Day.

[Gene Berkman]

I pay my taxes on time every year. I guess I have disqualified myself for any cabinet position in the near future.

“FAILURE TO PAY TAXES LEADS TO OBAMA!”

Lmao.
