My Income Tax

[Flying Trucker]

Don't figure...

Returned Mail, Can you believe it?

They sent my income tax return form back to me!

In response to question # 4, "Do you have any dependants?"

I replied -

"2.1 million illegal immigrants, 1.1 million crack heads, 4.4 million unemployable people, 901 thousand people in over 85 prisons, and 650 idiots in Parliament.

Apparently, this was NOT an acceptable answer.

Who the hell did I miss?

Dont worry, here in the States we feel the same

Well, maybe not everyone ... I kind of like having public roads, public libraries, police, the military, and all the other good things that taxes pay for in our society. Call me old fashioned but I believe paying your fair share of taxes is a civic duty, and those who shirk that responsibility are not to be admired. If one really hates taxes, maybe move to Cuba or North Korea. No taxes paid there. Just bribes.

That is an inflammatory and political statement that will only get this thread locked   

I realise that & apologise.

Taxes are good if it means the library gets more books.

"2.1 million illegal immigrants, 1.1 million crack heads, 4.4 million unemployable people, 

Your figures seem a little messed up. According to Wlkipedia "There is no credible information available on unathorized immigration in Canada. Estimates range between 35,000 and 120,000  ...". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illegal_immigration#Canada
I don't know about crack heads but the only statistics on unemployment I can find are quoted as percentages.

901 thousand people in over 85 prisons,

The latest statistic on the prison population of Canada I can find is "an average of 153 000 individuals under the supervision of Correctional Service Agencies" in 2005-6.  "In 2005/2006, there were 192 correctional facilities across Canada." http://www.prisonjustice.ca/politics/facts_stats.html

I think this refers to the British House of Commons.

One thing that is REALY stupid in Holland is,taxes on EVERYTHING.
I'll just use petrol as an example.
There goes roughly 40% of the money to the actual production,about 5% is for ther seller,then and 55% goes to the government.
Then,you have to pay tax for actualy owning fuel and then even more tax for USING it.

I am not sure if this goes on anywhere else but this is how it goes in holland.
The governments response when confronted:

There should be more rivalry between the petrol stations so the prices will get lower.

Goodly morning all...

Thanks for all the replies...we all need a little laugh once in awhile...

Seriously though...when I file my Income Tax I tell them to take what I owe them from the Foreign Aid Budget...sure does cause a lot of mail...       ;D

Nearly as bad as when I offered in a complaint letter to the council to include some moist cat turds from my garden (courtesy of the neighbours flee-bag) to show them exactly the same contempt they'd shown me.
Oddly enough their letter was nearly as rude as mine... I was delighted Guess they've not got any cats available for a counter threat...

[Flying Trucker]

Good one Mark....

Doug, sometimes you've just got to tell people like it is. Anyone who works for the government in an administrative position is automatically a personality free drone and worthy of any creative nastiness you can dream up
You should hear my mum on hospital administrators, as an ex-nurse she has some ideas that'd make the Gestapo boys honk their boots up The only question is how to retrieve the egg whisk and the polo mallet?
