RE: My Tax Remittance for 2004

Enclosed is my 2004 Form 1040, together with payment.
Please take note of the attached article from "USA Today" archives. In the article, you will note that the Pentagon paid $171.50 each for hammers and NASA paid $600.00 each for toilet seats.

Please find enclosed in this package four toilet seats
(value $2,400.00) and six hammers (value $1,029.00). This is
in payment for my total tax due of $3,429.00.
Out of a sense of patriotic duty, and to assist in the
political purification of our government, I am also enclosing a
1.5 inch Phillips head screw, for which HUD duly recorded and approved a purchase value of $2200, as my contribution to fulfill the Presidential Election Fund option on Form 1040.

It has been a pleasure to pay my taxes this year, and
I look forward to paying them again next year in accordance with officially established government values.

Sincerely,

Another satisfied American taxpayer.

Stephen,

That is so true. I get so @$#%#$ sometimes when I think about how much they take from the American taxpayer and they still bitch and moan about it not being enough.  There wouldn't even be a Government if it wasn't for the hard working American taxpayer.

 I watched the Cavuto report on Fox news the other day.  The report was how property taxes have gone up 28% but income has only gone up 14%.  These guys can't cut spending.  There only answer is to raise taxes.  I know that property taxes are on the local level.  But wheather it is the Federal, State or Local Goverment they never seem to soak us enough to support a bunch of social programs.    

Anyway, I hope that you and Tess are doing great and thanks for the support from the both of you.  I sent the petition for Anecita and I to Texas almost two weeks ago.  It is just a waiting game now.  

Take Care,

Keith
