I don't have much to say about this. It's certainly clever and definitely fitting.

Interesting... There's a reason I always have extra held out of my paychecks. I don't want to come up short when I file my income tax. (I had to pay in one year and it almost killed me finding the money to pay it in... Now, I just have an extra $7 held our for Federal taxes and $5 extra held out for State. At least I know I'll always get some of it back.)

@noni1959 Do you ever have people tell you that you're "loaning" the government the money and not getting interest on it? People here did that to me... I told them it's my money so I can loan it to anyone I want. At least with loaning it to the government I get part of it back.

@DaddyEvil No. I tell them I like having a fire dept, police dept, roads paved and all the things those who complain use too. I don't like how our Gov is saying she wants to tax the stimulus. That will be a hardship for some.

The truth is often spoken in jest.

A very smart comic. I know taxes help pay for social programs, for the roadways etc, but I think sometimes too much money is taken out of our pockets here in the US

@ScribbledAdNauseum With advanced technology, it is possible.

Very true. Of course now there are procedures to help them grow their hair back again.

@ScribbledAdNauseum I wonder if that's why I haven't gotten a stimulus check yet, because I haven't filed yet this year.

@spiderdust You might want to look into that? I don't actually know because I am not eligible.

For some Americans, unfortunately, this is very true. Good cartoon.

Yes, very true even today. Some just barely scrape by and tax time isn't a happy time for them.
