One line from the Alabama tax instruction booklet that made me laugh as much as any line from a tax instruction booklet can...
Considering some of the stresses of this past weekend [missing packages, being sick, wife being sicker, upcoming big deal projects at work], filling out my tax forms was just a part of the bigger picture, though it was definitely a part. However, there were was at least one light in the dark tunnel of my Alabama 40A form, and it was the line marked below:
A state that brags about its low taxes even to the detriment of its education, infrastructure, health care, welfare, and disaster preparedness and it wants to get a piece of that local corruption and crystal meth pie? Has anyone alerted the Tax Foundation about this?
Hell, I'm for it. I just wonder what the real-world situations created out of it might be. How many times has someone listed "Blackmailing boss over cheating on wife" or "Stabbed some fools, took their wallet" in their income stream? Surely there are a few, out there, who are more afraid of the tax-man than the other state and federal officers that might knock upon their door. And if they aren't, then maybe someone should tell them about what happened to Al Capone.
