Claire Nathan was very proud of herself this morning. She got all the tax forms completed and was ready to mail them. She was afraid to mention this to Randall, though, for fear of setting him off.
There are many ads on TV these days for firms that will help you get out of paying the legitimate taxes you incurred but did not pay. When they come on, Randall shouts at the TV: "You morons, you think they're going to help you for free? Why don't you pay your taxes instead of paying some poopy-head to help you get out of paying them? Don't you know that SOMEBODY has to pay? Yeah, that's right, your neighbors have to pay more to make up for what you're getting out of. And do you think that so-called company you're paying to help you evade is going to pay taxes? Hell, no. They already know how to get out of it. Those people who own the Dodgers made $115 million last year, and they didn't pay one red cent in taxes. Or any other color, either. You think they're going to make up what you aren't paying? No, it's going to be the little people, just like Leona Helmsley said. Why aren't the tea party people saying anything about their big cat buddies who make billions and pay nothing? Don't make the money if you can't pay the honey. Don't make the dough if you can't pay the show. Don't grind your axe if you can't pay the tax. Just put on your big girl pants and pay up, you..."
Claire slipped quietly out of the house and off to the post office, hoping fervently that they were still in business.
