The Taxman Cometh

I just got done e-filing my return. All together I am paying as much in income tax as I made my first year in the US Navy as a raw recruit and airplane fixer in training.

Of course I'm making much more now than I did then. I'm not quite up to the level of evil rich yet, but my itemized deductions are worth more than my standard ones would be so there is still hope.

There is also hope that this year the state of North Carolina won't see fit to hold on to the paltry amount they are returning to me until the last available moment like they did last year.

Hope springs eternal. Now I'm just waiting for my change.
