Fed a pack of lies my entire life, I believe that I can become so rich that I need to start cheating on my taxes just to stay afloat. Like all those millionaires and billionaires who struggle just to put food on their families.

with our taxes.....jeeez, I don't even remember what happened, but we ended up owing more than we could write a check for. Anyway, we called the IRS and ended up with a payment plan that had it paid off in six months without stretching our budget all that much.

They weren't impressed with my first argument along the lines of, "If I don't have any money, how can I owe taxes?"

from a bank account to another. On the other hand, I have represented a few taxpayers who were audited, and the IRS found that they over paid, and refunded money back to them.

because I’d overpaid my taxes.

I think this is just another “all government is bad” rant by the right.

"I called the toll-free number for Tax Avoiders R Us and they lowered my overdue tax bill from 16 million dollars to a dollar ninety-nine! And you can do it, too!"

I've never dealt with a private business that would lower my bill like that.
