About Damn Time She Blogged Again!
The Season of Giving - Tax Season
Dear IRS,
Enclosed is my 2005 tax return showing that I owe $3407.00 in taxes.
Please note the attached article from the USA Today, wherein you will see the Pentagon is paying $171.50 each for hammers and NASA has paid $600.00 a piece for toilet seats.
I am enclosing four toilet seats (a value of $2400) and six hammers (a value of $1029), bringing my total remitted to $3429.00
Please apply the overpayment of $22.00 to the "Presidential Election Fund" as noted on my return.
You can do this inexpensively by sending them one 1.5" Phillips head screw (taken from the article in USA Today detailing how HUD pays $22.00 each for 1.5" Phillips head screws.)
Please note that I did specify 'screw' not to be confused with 'screwdriver' which is valued at $153.00 per the same USA Today article. Although a screwDRIVER would be a nice tax write-off for next year I feel I'm unable to commit to that large of a donation this year.
I wanted to thank each and everyone there at the IRS as well as the lawmakers in the US Government and say It has been a pleasure to pay my tax bill this year and I look forward to paying it again next year.
Sincerely,
Ms. Amara Delponce
P.S.
Love you all - sorry I haven't been around...

Glad to see you back Mara.
And yes, it is absurd at what is priced as what the government "pays" for crap. We all know the extra 21.50 that paid for that screw went to fund a lunch somewhere...

Welcome back hun. I have been patiently waiting and my patience has worn off. Hey if you need it, I have a couple of screwdrivers I'm not really using. They are yours for the asking. Gotta do that good citizen thing and make sure the IRS is satisfied so the world can continue to spin. Glad to have you back babe.
