Yesterday I unloaded about rich Americans squirreling away assets in secret Swiss bank account to avoid the IRS. I need to add Big Businesses with off-ashore accounts and corporations that pay NO TAXES as well. This fiscal debauchery is equally as damaging to America and a travesty to honest folks who pay the piper.
Let’s see…yesterday I called the Swiss-account non-tax-paying unindicted felons “puss-oozing carbuncles on the backs of hard-working Americans…”
So, let’s call the corporate welfare recipients/non-tax-paying corporations “venereal wart- infested penises that screw over average Americans.”
Too tawdry? Me thinks not.
BTW, asking Americans and American businesses to pay their fair share is NOT an endorsement for the IRS—of which I am no fan. That organization is a pain in the ass, like inflamed hemorrhoids. The IRS tax code is overly complicated, full of holes, and waaay tooo looong. 2008 count: 67,000+ pages for cryin’ out loud!
Why so long? To ensure that the army of IRS accountants/attorneys/computer programmers keep their jobs as they try to manage the practical application of that ridiculously unnecessary and head-exploding verbiage.
The IRS tax code is like that movie “The Blob.” It’s an alien life form, a mucous green color that grows and grows as it rolls over people and smothers them to death.
After I read the advertising slogans for the movie, I wondered if the screenplay writers weren’t indeed the same guys who founded the IRS. See what you think:
“The Blob” taglines:
Beware of the Blob! It creeps, and leaps, and glides and slides across the floor.
Indescribable! Indestructible! Nothing Can Stop It!
The insatiable creature! Bloated with the blood of its victims!
So if Average Americans have to deal with that life-threatening ball of snot, then the aforementioned nasty sore and peenie entities (rich non-paying Americans and non-paying businesses) MUST also. Attention Tax Cheaters: You need to pull your weight and help tame the beast for everyone right now.
Because if not, BEWARE. After the Blob chews us up and spits us out—it’s comin’ after you!
