LOL!! Just got to love it!

You first have to decide whether to use the short or the long form. The short form is what the Internal Revenue Service calls "simplified", which means it is designed for people who need the help of a Sears tax-preparation expert to distinguish between their first and last names. Here's the complete text:

"(1) How much did you make? (AMOUNT)

(2) How much did we here at the government take out? (AMOUNT)

(3) Hey! Sounds like we took too much! So we're going to send an official government check for (ONE-FIFTEENTH OF THE AMOUNT WE TOOK) directly to the (YOUR LAST NAME) household at (YOUR ADDRESS), for you to spend in any way you please! Which just goes to show you, (YOUR FIRST NAME), that it pays to file the short form!"

The IRS wants you to use this form because it gets to keep most of your money. So unless you have pond silt for brains, you want the long form.

And if you have a brain at all you might figure out someday that none of that $#it applies to you. Not you personally of course. I like Dave Barry but he needs to do some studying. I believe that if he could wrap his head around it he would see that comedians aren't really included among the group who get the privilege of giving a large chunk of their compensation to the government.

Liberty is not a means to a higher political end. It is itself the highest political end.
