DEAR FELLOW AMERICANS,
I RECENTLY HAD TO REDO MY 2002 FEDERAL TAXES BECAUSE I DID NOT FILL OUT THE SCHEDULE D PROPERLY FOR THE SALE OF MUTUAL FUNDS, STOCK, AND AN IRA THAT THE MGMT CO. DECIDED TO NOT MANAGE ANY MORE,,,I PAID THE $1518 NEW BILL AFTER GOING TO H+R BLOCK TO PAY $120 TO A FEDERAL RETIREE WHO WAS IN A ROOKIE PANIC AND KEPT ASKING HIS 2 SENIORS AT THE BASCOM-VALLEY MED OFFICE WWWHAT DO I DO NOW,,,BEWARE OF ROOKIES AND INCOMPETENCE AT H=R BLOCK !!,,,THEN I GET ANOTHER BILL FROM THE FEDS IRS THAT I OWE $1638,,,SO I GO BACK TO THE SAME STUMBLING FUMBLING UNPROFESSIONAL H+R BLOCK OFFICE AND THE MANAGER TAKES A HALF HOUR TO FIGURE OUT THAT THE FEDS IRS JUST WANTS THE DIFFERENCE OF $118, THE INTEREST ON THE DUE $1518 SINCE 2002 !!,,,
NOW HERE IS THE KICKER,,,THE IRS SAY THAT THEY RECIEVED THE $1518, BUT DID NOT ACCOUNT FOR IT ON THE SECOND BILL AS A PAYMENT BECAUSE IT IS 2=3 WEEKS BACKLOGGED IN DATA ENTRY AND THUS IS KNOWINLY OVERCHARGING MANY AMERICANS ON THEIR TAXES BY NOT QUICKLY ENTERING PAYMENTS !!,,,
THE FEDS IRS IS A MESS AND NOT GETTING ANY BETTER AS ONE CONGRESS AFTER ANOTHER ,WETHER DEMOCRAT OR REPUBLICAN, SHIRKS ITS RESPONSIBILITY TO DO THE HARD WORK THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE EACH YEAR, WHILE STILL GETTING FULLY PAID,,,THERE ARE NOT ONLY LOOPHOLES, BUT "RIFLESHOTS" OF SPECIFIC IRS EXEMPTIONS OF INDIVIDUALS AND COMPANIES THAT DESERVE TO PAY TAXES,,,AND NOW WE HAVE BUSH43 WHO LETS AMERICAN AND MULTINATIONAL COMPANIES DOING BIZ IN THE USA MOVE THEIR "HEADQUARTERS" TO A FOREIGN COUNTRY LIKE BURMUDA AND THE CARRIBEAN CORRUPT GRAND CAYMAN TO AVOID PAYING ANY TAXES ON HUGE USA BIZ AND HUGE PROFITS,,,CRAZY,,,AND MEAN SPIRITED,,,THIS CURRENT PUSH TO HAVE THE RICH WITH MILLIONS OF DOLLARS THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHAT TO DO WITH PAY LESS TAX OR NO TAX THAN THE SHRINKING MIDDLE CLASS/CASH AND THE WORKING POOR GROWING PERCENTAGE OF THE USA IS GOING TO BE OUR RUINATION,,,GOING BACK TO GOVERNOR AND PRESIDENT REAGAN WHO SUCCESSFULLY GOT THE FED TAX RATE DOWN FROM 70% OF THE TOP CREAM AND FOAM OF THESE MULITMILLION DOLLAR SALARIES TO JUST A TOP PERCENTAGE OF THAT TOP INCOME FOAM OF 28% HURT THE USA MORE THAN THE REPUBLICANS OR DEMOCRATS ARE WILLING TO TALK ABOUT,,,WE NEED GOOD HONEST GOVERNMENT AND GOOD INFRASTRUCTURE FROM SAFE HIGHWAYS AND COPS ON THE STREET NOT IN CRUISERS OR HIDING IN OFICES AND ALL THAT IS EXPENSIVE AND THE RICH SHOULD PROGRESSIVELY, NOT SOCIALISTIC BUT SOCIALLY RESPONSIBLY, PAY A MUCH GREATER PERCENTAGE OF THEIR INCOME AND WEALTH FOR THE PRIVILEDGE OF WORKING AND LIVING IN THE USA,,,DID NOT GOVERNOR REAGAN DURING HIS TERM IN CALIFORNIA WATCH THE CLOSING OF BOTH S.F. BAY AREA MENTAL HOSPITALS, AGNEWS IN THE SOUTH BAY SILICON VALLEY AND SONOMA MENTAL HOSPITAL IN THE NORTHERN WINE COUNTRY ?,,,THAT IS JUST CALLOUS MEANNESS BY THE SELFFISH RICH REPUBLICANS AND NEGLECT BY THE DEMOCRATS,,,AND NOW MANY A S.F. TOURIST ESPECIALLY THOSE ON CORPORATE CONVENTION JUNKETS COMPLAIN ABOUT CRAZY DIRTY PEOPLE LIVING ON THE STREETS OF SAN FRANCISCO THAT IS FEEDING IN SOUP KITCHENS AND CLOTHING AND HOUSING THESE SAME MENTALLY ILL PEOPLE THAT WERE KICKED OUT OF THESE TWO HUGE S.F. BAY AREA MENTAL HOSPITALS WHERE THEY GOT MUCH BETTER CARE,REGARDLESS OF THE RIGHTS WEAK EXCUSE OF THE CONSTITUTION AND BILL OF RIGHTS LIMITING KEEPING INCAPABLE PEOPLE IN CAREGIVING INSTITUTIONS,,,SOME OF MY CONSERVATIVE TALK SHOW LISTENING FRIENDS TELL ME THAT FORMER GOVERNOR PAT BROWN IS NOW BEING BLAMED FOR CLOSING HUGE AGNEWS AND SOMONA, BUT THE RNC IS FULL OF LIARS ,PAID OR JUST WACKED LOYAL ANTI-AMERICAN ,WHO WILL LIE LIKE A RUG, ALA THE SWIFT BOAT VETERANS WHO SMEARED THE WEAK SENATOR KERRY WITH A WOUNDED VIETNAM BATTLEGROUND RESUME',VERSUS A PREZ BUSH43 WHO WAS AN ADMITTED DRUNK WELL INTO ADULTHOOD AND HID OUT IN THE USA DURING VIETNAM PROBABLY NOT EVEN GOING TO ARKANSAS OR TEXAS TO FLY A JET OVER THE USA,,,NOW HOW MANY RED BLOODED AMERICANS WOULD HAVE PASSED ON THAT DURING VIETNAM !!?,,,LET'S SEE, YOU CAN GO TO SOUTHEAST ASIA AND FIGHT AND KILL THE PEOPLE THE PENTAGON IS NOW CALLING GOOKS OR YOU CAN FLY A JET OVER ARKANSAS AND TEXAS ?,,,BOY, THAT IS A TOUGH ONE,,,MAYBE I JUST GET DRUNK AND LET MY RICH DADDY ,BUSH41,PROTECT ME,,,NO WONDER THE RED STATES IDENTIFY WITH SUCH A LOSER AS BUSH43,,,HE IS THE INTERNATIONAL LAUGHING STOCK OF ALL OUR FORMER ALLIES LIKE ENGLAND AND GERMANY AND WESTERN EUROPE, NOT TO MENTION FRANCE'S PEOPLE,,,
WHERE DO WE GET SUCH NATIONAL LOSERS AS BUSH43, FORD, NIXON,PSYCH.HUGE -FLAWED CLINTON THE LIAR, AGNEW,REAGAN THE PHONY SHALLOW DIMWIT HOLLYWOOD ACTOR BUT HANDSOME, AND ON AND ON BACK INTO OUR NATIONAL HISTORY ?!?MAYBE IT IS THE FATAL FLAW OF THE JUST 2 NATIONAL PARTIES,,,
WATCH OUT FOR THE IRS AND H+R BLOCK, NEIGHBORS,,,
ISN'T IT INTERESTING THAT AS SOON AS SOMEONE GETS RICH, AND I HAVE LIMO DRIVEN A TON OF CELEBS AND MULIMILS, THEY GET VERY SELFISH AND HEARTLESS AND GREEDY AND LOSE THEIR COMPASSION AND AMERICAN DUTY TO THE LESS FORTUNATE, UNTIL THEY ALMOST DIE AND THEN THEY START A FOUNDATION IN THEIR OWN NAME FOR TAX PURPOSES AND PROBABLY A LOT OF SMOTHERED GUILT OVER PAST MISDEEDS AND UNSCRUPULOUS FORMER FULL LIFETIME OF BUSINESS ACTIVITY, LIKE LELAND STANFORD OF STANFORD U. ,,,?
5th generation Californian blows off steam and comments on the last 50 year decline in quality of life, etc. in home state of California. Some good news hopefully.
