No Tax Return For You!

February 21, 2025

7000 people who work for the IRS lost their jobs yesterday. 7000! During tax season no less. That's 7000 families who lost their livelihoods. 7000 people who probably won't be able to pay their rents or mortgages, feed their families, go out to restaurants, shop at their local stores...you know, feed money into the economy to keep the wheels of industry going! 7000 people who will now have to suckle at the government's teat until they can find another job.

My tax return better not be delayed because of this nonsense bestowed upon us by the tyrant King Donald and his little lap dog Elon (or is it the other way around?). Two men who have no idea what it means to live paycheck to paycheck. Two men who don't have to choose between a peanut butter and jelly sandwich and a cup of tomato soup with ramen noodles to keep from starving. They don't need their tax returns, after all the Tyrant King himself has gleefully boasted on several occasions that he doesn't pay income tax. But we do!

It sort of feels like we are living in Biff's dystopian future. Can Marty go back in time and steal the Sports Almanac from the Trump family? Please?!!! Come on flux capacitor...start fluxing!!
