Time to Pay Uncle Sam

It is that time of year. It is time to redistribute the wealth. This won't take long; there is not all that much to redistribute. Isn't it great.

What is really great is that I am done. If you are not done you better schedule some down time from the shop and get with it. There are a lot of loop holes to jump through and time is running out. Just 55 days left to procrastinate.

Done! Minuscule refund checks in the bank.

Done here too. And for the first time in forever, I'm actually getting a refund from the state.

My fiancé and I are each getting over $2,100 back

Over $1,000 of that are tax credits and reductions from this administration. I still think we pay too much in taxes (over $30,000 for 2012) but it's better than it used to be.

I don't know if it's accurate, but I've heard it said that Americans were being taxed at 3% by King George when we decided to revolt.

[quote="dustyWhat is really great is that I am done.[/quote"]I thought that DONE was a cooking term, not a substitute for FINISHED. So which of the following fits your DONE condition? Stewed, Half-Baked, Fried, Toast, Boiled, Burned, or all/none of the above?:rolleyes:

After he done et, he done got it done o'er thar. S.E. Ky y'all!

Sorta similar to 'what it's been a being'.
