It's Wednesday August the 23 around 1:21PM and
Kicked in the Can by "The Man"
I haven't filed my taxes in 5 years because I didn't know how. I lost a T4 way back when and was just too lazy to start the ball rolling and get my ass to HR Block. Well I did today and that was painful. Not only do I owe another $3K to "The Man", because the 31K paid over 5 years already wasn't quite enough, I had to pay $473 for 5 years worth of frickin filing. The highlight of the 3 hours though was when he showed me how much I owed him for his services and that it was only 6% GST and not 7%. I went directly to McDonald's and splurged on a diet coke and double cheeseburger with my new savings. While the war of diet pop and a soggy double burger battled each other for arterial supremacy, I started to calm down. When I got home I took some sweet medication to further calm my nerves.
Maybe the Govt should have a super simple form for the masses. The new ONET4 form where you don't need all that silly confusing shit. One line for income, one line for CPP, a line for tax paid and a line for EI. Add this and these and divide by that and include a check thank you for everything you pawn.
