Ah, Taxes. They are one of the most American things to complain about. Our forefathers didn’t dump a bunch of British tea in the Boston Harbor because they were mad about foreign policy. They were raging over British tea being taxed and America not being represented in Parliament! Now, we’re almost 250 years out from the signing of the Declaration of Independence, and we’re still complaining about taxes. If you’re not at least a little bummed out about paying the government more than they’ve already taken, you might be a Redcoat in disguise. 

Even though our government represents us these days, it doesn’t make taxes any more fun. We have to walk over to H&R Block or pay TurboTax to help figure out which boxes to check and which to ignore. Thankfully, at this point, I can ignore most of them.
