Dont forget to bring the boyletariat up with you, girlfriend. No worker left behind.
I appreciate the sentiment, but if you forget to vote I got no sympathy for you
thing about (american) taxes is that its a process anyone can do with a high school education, but its intentionally made to be as annoying and obtuse as possible. Its like the worst homework project you can ever be given. many times polls were taken on if people would rather do taxes or have a root canal and few people choose taxes.
It’s really not bad if all you do is work regular jobs, even a lot of them. The problem is Americans are shit at reading and math so they don’t understand directions well. Companies benefit from making it seem complicated though.
If you own your own business taxes are a huge pain, because you have to do all the stuff employers do, like payroll taxes.
If you are part of the ~13% that benefit from itemizing on your taxes, it’s also more complicated.
still a prime example I have is the reporting sheet, and I can’t remember which one, reports something in like 4a that goes to the 1040 in line 4b and 4b goes to 4a. seriously. this looks like the reporting sheet was made to fuck with the tax payer. (also data input is the most annoying part. you should not have to pay for a system just to get the boxes filled from data from forms. its just bs.)
the other thing that you need to know about american taxes is that they don’t even need you to do them. They’ll correct your work and send you a bill if it’s in their advantage. They can just send you the bill to begin with, but they don’t so their rich friends can show off their pretty science projects (I mean, er, exploit loopholes.)
I dunno. But If grilboss could make me a stack of ribs…
(Sorry that typo was too hard to pass up…)
