I should sue the IRS for emotional abuse
It is Fiday and springtime
Here’s some fun snippits, though, in case you’re too lazy to RTFA (as they say on Slashdot).
Which is only because if we hadn’t gotten married in 2004 and were filing singly, John would be getting a $1,000 refund, which in our actual circumstances is just coming out of what I owe for having the NERVE to be self-employed. It takes balls, let me tell you. Self-employed people have to pay twice as much social security/Medicare tax as folks who work for someone else. Which is bullshit. Pure unmitigated stinky bullshit. Not “bullshit” as in something that isn’t true but “bullshit” as in something that is just f’n’ wrong. Blah, blah, I know, life isn’t fair but goddammiit. People should not be penalized for running their own friggin’ business. I am a one-person show here. I have a tiny office in my house with very little equipment and no overhead expense. No inventory and no losses, so not much to write off except a portion of the bills. So I get thoroughly nailed by the good ol’ IRS, that gleeful institution of bastards. It sucks and I am pissed off. Pissed off, I tell you.
Don’t even get me started about all the waste in govt spending. My head will literally explode in a fiery self-destruction of protest.
