So much for a "stimulus package" we don't have any money to spend...the government took all of ours too. I do love your return address - I'll have to join you there! Oh, I feel your pain!

That's a hard one to swallow. I whole heartedly agree with Mr. Smith though. Your money is in a much better place. May you find comfort in that. (Makes you a little bit ill, doesn't it?) Ouch!

City tax, township tax, county tax, state tax, federal tax. There was even a yearly $10 "tax" for living in 1 city and working in another city. Sorry, dudette, but it should be better next year. I'm not sure if that's because you will be better prepared for it or if the taxing authorities know about you now and hold money out of your check on a regular basis.

I'm thinking of adding a colostomy bag in 2011, so that I can lessen the burden. Ha ha IRS, you forgot to close that loophole didn't ya...suckers. Really Tiffany, I'm sorry for your loss. Even though your money is no longer with you It should bring you solace to know that your money still lives on, in a far better place. The coffers of AIG.

I always thought that it was just us single folks with no house and kid deductions that got screwed on taxes...I guess not. Have you seen all of those internet ads for getting a billion dollars in government grants? Probably a hoax, but I still consider it just to feel like I'm getting something for my money. I swear hearing others talk about what they're going to do with their return makes me want to kill people. I’m sorry Tiff.

Someone we know, who's very well off, got a refund!!! The IRS must be thinking we're a charity raising money just for them. My return address would be "Charity Case."
