Taxes and tea




The postal workers stayed late and took taxes in a drive-thru manner outside the mail sorting facility. They were pleasant beyond reason. One even dressed as Uncle Sam, so you could hand him your taxes in person. Those protesting taxes were gathered at the opposite end of town, angry signs and American flags in their hands. This is the first year I've filed my own taxes. Perhaps I would be more upset if I made enough money to owe the government something. The big question is why are there so many people here rioting? Tennessee doesn't even have an income tax. They're all paying less than most people in the nation anyway.
