“With tax after tax after tax after tax being proposed it's tough not to feel like the government has us by the throat. It's only a matter of time before people get fed up and start to protest because frustration is boiling over. People like Ed Barnett in Wichita Falls decided to vent their frustration with the IRS - in the form of a letter that pretty much sums up what most right thinking people in America are feeling.” (Glenn Beck)

"Dear IRS,

I'm sorry to inform you that I'm not going to be able to pay the taxes owed on April 15th, but all is not lost. I paid these taxes:

accounts receivable tax, building permit tax, CDL tax, corporate income tax, dog license tax, federal income tax, unemployment tax, gas tax, hunting license tax, fishing license tax, waterfowl stamp tax, inheritance tax, inventory tax, liquor tax, luxury tax, Medicare tax, city tax, school and county property tax up to 33% the last four years. Real estate tax, Social Security tax, road use tax, toll road tax, state and city sales tax, recreational vehicle tax, sales franchise tax, state unemployment tax, federal excise tax, telephone tax, telephone federal state and local surcharge tax, telephone minimum usage surcharge tax, telephone state and local tax, utility tax, vehicle tax, registration tax, capital gains tax, lease severance tax, oil and gas assessment tax, Colorado property tax, Texas, Colorado, Wyoming, Oklahoma, Mexico sales tax and many more.

I can't recall and I've run out of space and money. When you do not receive my check April 15th, just know that it was an honest mistake. Please treat me the same as the way you've treated Congressman Charlie Rangel, Chris Dodd, Barney Frank, ex-congressman Tom Daschle and, of course, your boss, Timothy Geithner. No penalties, no interest.

PS, I'll make at least a partial payment as soon as I get my stimulus check. Ed Barnett, Wichita Falls.

Alas poor Ed will likely go to Jail for his lack of paying taxes but I am glad he stood up and took a stand. Wish I was brave enough to do this. I filed my taxes for 2008.

Thanks for reading this,

Bob
