I wrote/mailed tax checks today...

Most everyone owes this year because last year had big upside do to "poor me" stimulus inflation. Give I back this year AND pay taxes on vanishing gains.

And like it.

Since I’ve been self-employed I always pay. Actually prefer to pay after taking every deduction offered, than overpay our bloated Federal Government and think I’m getting a deal with a ‘refund’.

My wife and I paid every year and always a few thousand extra.  Since being retired, we now get a refund of a couple of thousand.  Who would have thought?

The Creature from Jekyll Island is a must read for every tax payer

In November 1910, six men – Nelson Aldrich, A. Piatt Andrew, Henry Davison, Arthur Shelton, Frank Vanderlip and Paul Warburg – met at the Jekyll Island Club, off the coast of Georgia, to write a plan to reform the nation’s banking system. The meeting and its purpose were closely guarded secrets, and participants did not admit that the meeting occurred until the 1930s. But the plan written on Jekyll Island laid a foundation for what would eventually be the Federal Reserve System.

It is a PRIVATE entity

I would be in such great shape for taxes if only audio gear was deductible!
