LYRICS:
Make them pay four months of earnings (oh, that's a good one)
Have them look for lost receipts (ooh, I like it!)
They'll have about as much fun
as their last colonoscopy
People everywhere will get ripped off…
the paper version of the Apple Watch
And we'll dance all night, it's the best code ever
Some folks pay a lot, others they pay never
And you'll get tax breaks if you're really clever
It'll take so long, it's the best code ever
They'll be like "oh, oh no"
We'll be like "yeah, yeah, yeah."
We'll be like "awww."
You may have heard that all your info
on our systems can be hacked with ease
But rest assured if they don't get them
they'll be in the care of folks like these
Yes historians will all agree
among the greatest works in history
And we'll dance all night, it's the best code ever
Some folks pay a lot, others they pay never
and if you don't comply you'll go to jail, however
Why would you not file? It's the best code ever
They'll be like "Oh, oh no"
We'll be like "yeah, yeah, yeah"

Fuck tax day. And fuck anybody that celebrates it.
Hells yes!
What percentage of your total income do you think you pay in taxes? Fed, SSI, state, sales, excise, property, etc.
The more important question is the value you get for your taxes. Answer: incalculable.
No doubt over half. When ever you buy anything there is a barrage of taxes baked into the price before you even get to the sales tax. Then there are property taxes which you have to pay even if you have no income and own your property outright.
GDP: $17B approx.
Combined local, state, and federal spending: around $8B.
There's your answer.
I think these are hilarious, but I strongly suspect you have to be something of a nerd to like them. I sometimes (rarely) shows these at work and folk's reactions are typically polite smiles. Once or twice people have laughed. I think Remy should be on SNL. Difference between my coworkers and I right there.
Seriously he really should.
SNL is an embarrassment. Harry Shearer on a bad day or in a coma could do better that SNL's latest biting satire of Hillary's election campaign announcement.
I get paid over $87 per hour working from home with 2 kids at home. I never thought I'd be able to do it but my best friend earns over 10k a month doing this and she convinced me to try. The potential with this is endless. Heres what I've been doing,

Yes, dalak, but how much do you pay in taxes? Try to keep up with the thread here.
Google pay 97$ per hour my last pay check was $8500 working 1o hours a week online. My younger brother friend has been averaging 12k for months now and he works about 22 hours a week. I cant believe how easy it was once I tried it out.
