Billionaire Limit

    I'd vote for this.

Tax Rate vs. Buying Power

    True dat.

Your taxes are (almost) due

    Less than a week remains before you owe a communication of some sort to the IRS.  As noted earlier, I got mine done Monday a week ago, and I'm getting refunds from both the Feds and the State.

    That's true every year because of how I structure my withholdings.  I don't begrudge the government the interest they earn off hanging on to my excess deuctions for a year.

    I was pleasantly surprised that the amount of the refunds hadn't changed noticeably this year.  We'll see if I can say the same for the 2013 returns.

Tax Night

    Something quick, as I'm off to get my taxes done tonight.  RIP, Jerry Garcia.  One can only dream of what the world would be like if, somewhere along the line, we had elected you POTUS.

Tax Night

    Something quick, as it's Tax Night and I'm heading over to my tax lady's house for our annual 3-hour ordeal and confab.  The above picture has nothing to do with this; I just couldn't find a tax-related image in my files.

Tax Time Tonight

    Fortunately, I have a poopload of $$$ withheld from my paychecks, so we will be getting hefty refunds from both the Feds and the State.  Still, the whole evening gets shot.  I could be doing other, more productive things - like hanging out on FaceBook, watching Kirstie Alley try to dance, or conquering an HOMM3 world and slaying every creature that stirs within it.
.
And yes, I know that by getting these large refunds, I am in effect letting the government draw interest on my $$$ all year long.  Frankly, I'm cool with that.  And there is an emotional high to be experienced when I get those two refund checks in the next 6-8 weeks.
