The day the government takes your money so as to buy ridiculously expensive weaponry. Out of ever dollar you pay in Federal Income tax 37 cents goes to war.

For those who do not reside in the US of A, April 15th in the States basically look like this. (http://www.metacafe.com/watch/hl-7408389/the_simpsons_tax_day_season_9/)

Y'see, this is what happens when you can't put your money into a public service, like universal healthcare!

And that would be good for the middle east too, because it'd stop looking like the surface of the moon.

Heh, we need lasers on Humvees that make people feel like their skin is burning off more than we need decent text books for our kids apparently

The only contact I get with the Inland Revenue (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Her_Majesty%27s_Revenue_and_Customs) is when they occasionally send me P45 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P45_%28tax%29)s.

Really, American taxes sound really convoluted.

Most of my recent encounters with taxes have been recieving £50 (up from £47.50) from the british taxpayer each week. I've only recieved on P45 and I have no idea where the fuck it is now, which is somewhat inconvienient.
