The IRS giveth, and the IRS taketh away

June 16, 2008

Dear Taxpayer:

Whahoo! Your beneficent government has taken pity on your poor miserable soul and you are entitled to an Economic Stimulus Payment of an amount that boggles the brain and overwhelms the senses. If you rush right out and spend this, all will be right with the world and the stockmarket will go up 600 points!

Dear Taxpayer:

You doofus! How could you have made such an egregious error in your 2007 tax return? You owe us an additional sum equal to the National Debt of many small nations! Only by our good graces are you not already in Debtor's Prison, so fork over the Moolah immediately!

Dear Taxpayer:

Remember that Economic Stimulus Payment we told you about? Fahgeddaboutit! We applied it to your debt while you were not looking. Don't forget to send the balance before Guido comes and collects it personally. Oh, and have a nice day.

I am reminded of the story of the state official who won the lottery, but being a state official, he could not collect. So, he sent his intern down to collect. Only, she had defaulted on her student loan and they garnished her "winnings." They get it one way or the other!
