Scam Alert

NO JOKE!! MUST READ!!! WARNING!

PLEASE READ IMMEDIATELY! THIS IS SERIOUS!

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

If you get an envelope from a company called the Internal Revenue Service, DO NOT OPEN IT! This group operates a scam around this time every year.

Their letter claims that you owe them money, which they will take and use to pay for the operation of essential functions of the United States government. This is untrue! The money the IRS collects is used to fund various inefficient and pointless social engineering projects.

This organization has ties to another shady outfit called the Social Security Administration, who claim to take money from your regular paychecks and save it for your retirement. In truth, the SSA uses the money to pay for the same misguided make-work projects the IRS helps mastermind.

These scam artists have bilked honest, hard working Americans out of billions of dollars. Don't be among them! FORWARD THIS MESSAGE TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW.

Hey, I know people who get more back from the IRS than they paid. I never have been able to figure that out.

I am serious. I know people who get back checks from the government for more than they paid. It has to do with all the tax credits etc.

160 bbl/yr is the compliance cost. But the money gets spent and invested, so no great loss unless you have no tax professionals in the family, grrrrrr.

Now, if you want to talk opportunity costs--what those large CPA brains might do for the country besides rat-killin', and what taxpayers would do with their own 160 billion, thats a hoss of a different color.

Some people do not get a W2 and that makes it hard. If you work for cash and are poor it can be hard to know how to file. You have no paper work...no 1099 or W2... so a lot of these folks just hope they don't get caught. But if they buy gas or much of anything else they do pay taxes.
