So I owe income tax, a lot of it. It's not enough that I had at least $650 deducted automatically over the year, I now have to mail in a check for $250 more with my return. Work that all out against my year's income for 2005, and I'm paying around 23% income tax, because you know, I'm so rich and can afford it. And I know this ain't going to pay off the debt, or fund what's left of schools, it's all going to some rich old man's pocket. I feel very proud sitting here, wondering how I'm going to scrape up $250 before April, spending $20 a week on food and gas and nothing more, so that someone in Texas can use my $250, via a no-bid contract, to buy a new coffee maker for the break room at the building where they design flawed body armor for American troops (support them with a magnetic car ribbon, or else!) who are now sitting ducks in the center of a developing civil war that we bumblingly sparked, and will eventually slink away from.

(I've double checked everything, and methinks Perkins, or someone, is screwing me over somewhere along the line.)
