Mock the IRS Thread:

[SOteric]

Us wage-slaves do tediously plod,
While they tap a big chunk of our wad,
Those audits they churn up
To get blood from a turnip,
Making certain we all get scrod.


Okay, now it's your turn.

[Midlodemocrat]

1. I cannot possibly outdo that.

:rofl:

But, they truly, truly suck.

[SOteric]

2. It's, simple. It's pure. It's elemental.

I'd give you 9.5 in eloquence.

:7

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

10. In defense of the IRS...

They are merely the collection agency for the U.S. Congress.

[SOteric]

12. True, but

they are often a group far too often mired in red tape, officiousness and overly concerned with collecting from the little guy. It might be different if Congress had some oversight, but as it is, the IRS is responsible to no one for their choices and behaviour; and this is often to the public's detriment.

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

13. Congress can change all that any time it wants...

Congress has oversight and Congress writes the tax laws.

But Congress doesn't exercise its authority and it continues to write tax laws the benefit the wealthy at the expense of the working class.

And then it blames the IRS.

[SOteric]

15. Listen dOOd...

Midlo and I (and apparently others from posts in this thread) were commiserating over our IRS woes and this thread is just a way for us to vent a little steam in a humourous and constructive way.

I appreciate that you want to defend and educate, but maybe this is not the right place and time.




Now spew some mockery of the IRS or leave us to our misery. Thengkyou.

[Midlodemocrat]

17. I shall stop my mocking of the IRS when they pry it from my

oh wait, that doesn't make sense.

[LostinVA]

20. Hehehe

I feel that way about the Virginia car tax.

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

21. There once was a Tax Examiner from Nantucket...

Naw, I'd better not go there.

Thanks for removing that enormous stick from my butt...

[undeterred]

3. They're so dumb

They prolly think this song is about them
They're so dumb
They prolly think this song is about them bout them bout them

Oh they took by Turbo Tax return
And they took me at my word
And they ran all the caculations
Like they were flushing away a turd
Well they gave away the thing they love
To someone poor like me
And I was glad
I had tears in my coffee
Tears in my coffee

Cuz They're so dumb
They prolly think this song is about them...

[SOteric]

4. Most excellent!

:hi:

[LiberalEsto]

5. An IRS limerick

of my very own:

The Infernal Revenue Service
Makes most folks incredibly nervous
and few folks applaud it
when facing an audit
In fact, they begin feeling murderous!

[SOteric]

7. OutSTANding!

[AlCzervik]

6. the irs is mocking me.

we owe, we owe, it's off to sell a kidney i go.

[SOteric]

8. My heartfelt sympathy.

I feel your pain...

[Midlodemocrat]

18. I can't get enough for my kidney, apparently.

Have to sell BabyMidlo. She should fetch a good price, she's blond, blue eyed, smart, but she's a total mess maker so that brings the dollar amount WAY down.

[AlCzervik]

19. thats a good plan, i have a perfectly good 13 year old daughter with less miles on her kidneys

than mine, it's time for her start earning! You and i seem to have the same tax issue this year.

[DS1]

9. I got nothin

wait, that works :D

[SOteric]

11. *L*

*high five*

[trof]

14. IRS haiku

I fill all your forms
Spending hours at dull labor
Why don't YOU pay ME?

[SOteric]

16. It's just a vocabulary problem.

When they read the forms, it looks like "Income owed us" and "Incommode you."

:hi:
