Uncle Sam's Take

So today I worked on the dreaded income taxes. Yes, I still prepare our income tax filings. However, I really do hate this time of year. The process is tedious and each time I sit down to do it, I cringe! I firmly believe that Uncle Sam has all he needs and he doesn't really need to have the precious amount of money that Matthew and I contribute involuntarily each year! I could do so much more with that money if it stayed in my hands rather than with those imbeciles on Capitol Hill. I will say though, that Matthew and I have been lucky over the years to not get hit too hard and we manage to get a return each year! The only problem is it gets smaller and smaller each time.

Now I know what you are all thinking, have a kid! Yeah right! With this year's election just around the corner, I have to wonder if even having a kid will help us for next year's tax return or not. I seriously doubt it! In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if next year Matthew and I will have to pay back the nice refund we are getting this year along with the refund we are going to get from the Bush's Federal stimulus package. Oh well...I guess I will enjoy what money we receive from the government and do something FUN with it!
