Fun with government forms.

Five hours of sleep seems to be catching up with me.

I did my taxes today. I know so many people that are completely intimidated by filling out these forms. They aren’t hard. The FAFSA is harder. Took me all of 20 minutes, including the first unsuccessful 5 minutes when I tried to phone them in and was told that the IRS didn’t have one of my employers’ ID numbers on file.

Every year it seems my tax refund is shrinking. Aren’t the Republicans supposed to be in power? Aren’t they supposed to be the anti-tax party? So why are my bloody taxes going up when I earned less money in 2004 than previously? I suspect there are more tax-and-spend Republicans than the party would have us think.
