Pious Perverts See other Pious Perverts Articles Title: Turtle’s Tax Service Three months out of the year I prepare taxes for one of those nation-wide tax services. Sometimes I run across some pretty funny stuff, such as the idiot who said, So youre going to fax my check to me? My first impulse was to say, Well do even better well fax you the cash. But I didnt. Most of the people are okay, but for the most part they just arent too bright. They have an entitlement mentality, fostered by the government. Its amazing how little most people make. As a result, they not only dont pay any taxes, they get free money from the government four thousand, five thousand, six thousand dollars. Its completely free money transferred to them from taxpayers via the government. They never see it that way. And some of them complain, Last year I/we got $5000! So why is my/our refund this year only $4000? Because you made more money this year, or youre not claiming all three of your kids as dependents this year, or this, or this, or this, or that. I have to explain it to them because theyre morons. Its not terribly hard to manipulate them, because if I didnt my temper would get really short. Look at it this way, I tell them. You sat here for an hour, and you made $4000. Thats $4000 an hour. If you do that every hour you could work one day a year and take the other 364 days off. Often it penetrates. I can tell when their beady little eyes light up. That only people Ive seen pay taxes are when they make $60,000 a year or more. One steelworker made over $100,000 in one year, by working a lot of overtime every week. The federal government withheld over $30,000 from him (for which he was paid no interest) and got back only $10,000. That $20,000 went to pay for the entitlement-minded mooches. Every time the government gets involved in something, they screw it up. I am a certified CNA and am trained in physical therapy which took a week. I no longer work in the field, because a lot of nursing homes are pits and the management should be in prison. Many CNAs start at about $10 an hour. I did taxes for a woman who has a degree in Occupational Therapy, which is similar to physical therapy. Every nursing home by law has to have a little room for occupational therapy, which essentially means entertaining the people, putting together puzzles and other things that takes no training at all. I call it Arts & Crafts. But only this woman can do those things because she has a degree. Last year she made $144,000, doing something that can be learned in one week. But the law requires that degree. And the money paid to nursing homes and therefore her comes from the government. Its not like any nursing home produces anything and adds to the economy. All of them are essentially parasites on the taxpayers and most of them are warehouses for their residents. I despise most of them and think most of them should be bulldozed. CNA -- $10 an hour. Occupational therapist doing the same work over $100,000 a year. The difference? The government interfering in the market and requiring degrees that tremendously reduce the supply. The occupational therapist who made over $100,000 a year was married to a truck driver who made $15,000 last year, So he was going to school to try to make more money. Im sure she wanted to work less hours, since she was driving over 60,000 miles a year traveling all over the state from nursing home to nursing home. They told me they went through one used car a year. I kept my mouth shut and didnt tell him he would never make the kind of money did, because Affirmative Action means white men need not apply. I didnt bother to ask what he was studying, but it didnt matter. Even if he got the same degree as her he would never make the same money as her. Theyll find out. Our tax system is a catastrophe. People who work their butts off to make a decent living which these days means 50 hours a week are having their lifeblood sucked out to support mooches who think they deserve to get government money. Sooner or later its all going to collapse. And the sooner the better.

You sure are in a dour mood this morning.
Not really. I actually like doing taxes, but some of the people I deal with are pretty stupid. Why can't they be brilliant like Turtle?!?!?
"If ever this vast country is brought under a single government, it will be one of the most extensive corruption, indifferent and incapable of a wholesome care over so wide a spread of surface. This will not be borne, and you will have to choose between reform and revolution. If I know the spirit of this country, the one or the other is inevitable." - Thomas Jefferson
That is the part I had reference to. You need to be more charitable to mankind. Broad brush sweeping of people is unfair and wrong. You lose a lot of knowledge and wisdom.
