Tax Day -- April 15

Do not lie to me! I know tax day is your favorite day of the year, right after the birthday of Osama Bin Laden (March 10, 1957), the day Adolf Hitler became Chancellor of Germany (January 30, 1933), and 9/11. But things are not all bad. The former Internal Revenue Service (dreaded IRS) now requests to be called the United States Treasury because they are more "gentle" and "responsive" to the needs of us constituents. Call it as you wish, the US Treasury has to be the national institution which causes the greatest amount of ambivalence for you and I. We love the services provided by government (most of them--depending upon your political views), but we struggle with positive affect when we pay. Buck up cowboy...pay your dues so you can brag that you are a great American.
