Dear IRS,

I am sorry to inform you that I will not be able to pay taxes owed April 15, but all is not lost.

I have paid these taxes: accounts receivable tax, building permit tax, CDL tax, cigarette tax, corporate income tax, dog licence tax, federal income tax, unemployment tax, gasoline tax, hunting licence tax, fishing licence tax, waterfowl stamp tax, inheritance tax, inventory tax, liquor tax, luxury tax, medicare tax, city, school and county property tax (up 33 percent last 4 years), real estate tax, social security tax, road usage tax, toll road tax, state and city sales tax, recreational vehicle tax, state franchise tax, state unemployment tax, telephone federal excise tax, telephone federal state and local surcharge tax, telephone minimum usage surcharge tax, telephone state and local tax, utility tax, vehicle licence registration tax, capitol gains tax, lease severance tax, oil and gas assessment tax, Colorado property tax, Texas, Colorado, Wyoming, Oklahoma and New Mexico sales tax, and many more that I can't recall but I have run out of space and money.

When you do not receive my check April 15, just know that it is an honest mistake. Please treat me the same way you treated Congressmen Charles Rangle, Chris Dodd, Barney Frank and ex-Congressman Tom Dashelle and, of course, your boss Timothy Geithner. No penalties and no interest.

P.S. I will make at least a partial payment as soon as I get my stimulus check.

It would be a lot funnier if it weren't so true. 

I got a 3 to 4 % raise at work recently, but my property & school taxes went up at a much higher % so I won't see it.

I agree!!!! Just wait until they get all the carbon/CO2 emission taxes in place.  Bob

There's many more taxes they can make up. Can we get some of that bailout money or is it just for organizations that f**** in the first place?

[Mike DC]

Tax everything at the small personal level.  That will convince the public that the govt is probably doing too much taxing at the huge uber-rich & multinational corporate level too.  Then argue that we need to cut the taxes higher up. 

It's been working for decades.
