Real E-Mails from Real Subscribers
- Next Monday is your dreaded TAX DAY on April 15, and you’ll have until midnight to make sure your check is in the mail. But April 15 is not the “Ides of April.” According to the Roman calendar, the “Ides of April” is today on April 13, since many of our readers feel like Julius Caesar on the “Ides of March,” because we keep stabbing over-taxed payers in the back every time we confiscate all that money from their weekly paychecks. —Incompetents in Congress
- Tax Freedom Day will arrive on April 18 this year (the 108th day of 2011) when Americans have earned enough money to pay this year’s tax obligations at the federal, state and local levels. —The Tax Foundation

- Most people don’t have to keep their tax records for more than three years, but if we suspect you’re a tax cheat, we’ll make you produce every document from the day you were born. —Your Friends at the IRS
- Please don’t forget to pay your taxes next Monday. 21 million illegal immigrants (undocumented future DemocRATS) are depending on you. —Moises, Julio, Alfredo, and Jose
- Until we have a simple flat tax without all that paperwork, over-paid members of Congress should be forced to fill out every one of their constituents’ tax forms for free. —Angry Over-taxed Payers
- There should be no withholding. No phony “refunds.” If folks had to write really big checks on TAX DAY, people would actually know how much they’re paying. —Turbo-Taxers on a Rant
- It’s a good thing they don’t hold every election on TAX DAY. —Tax-and-Spenders running for re-election
- Since the next fight will be about trillions instead of billions, please don’t ask about Obama’s proposed tax increases when he announces his plans not to balance the budget tomorrow. —Obama Re-election Campaigners at the White House
- No matter what Obama pretends to offer, Republicans are opposed to new tax hikes, especially after we caved in on $600 billion in “increased tax revenue” in our year-end deal. —Republican Speaker of the House John Boehner
- Please don’t ask if we were lying when we claimed “revenues from parking meters could not be used to pay police and fire fighters,” since that’s what we’re supposed to be using all those City taxes we steal from your paychecks. —Cincinnati Girly Mayor Mark Mallory and Slut for Obama Laure “Not So” Cleanlivin’
- On this date in 1865 Confederate General Robert E. Lee surrendered his 28,000 troops to Union General Ulysses S. Grant at Appomattox, Virginia. So if you see flags flying at half staff in Kentucky today, that might be the reason. —Hurley the Historian
