My Tax Return.............
IRS sent my Tax Return back!
AGAIN!!!
I guess it was because of my response to the question:
"List all dependents."
I replied -
"12 million illegal immigrants;
"3 million crack heads;
"42 million unemployable people on food stamps
"2 million people in over 243 prisons;
"Half of Mexico
and
"535 fools in the U.S. House and Senate.”
Apparently, this was NOT an acceptable answer.

The economy explained................from Rico
The economy (and the state of the union) is explained in these two charts.
- Almost 50% of the population gets money from the government. There is a curious overlap with this figure...almost 50% pay no taxes, and almost 50% originally voted for our lad Barry. Hmmmm....
- The second chart is from Morgan Stalney. What is this? Whatever you call it, it's NOT a 'recovery' Sparky!
Now whatever fragrant dog-squeeze gets 'read' from the teleprompter for the "State of the Union" address, you will be able to know when you are being brazenly lied to...his lips will be moving. What I can guarantee you will NOT hear are words like this [for progressives read: fact]
- If the government keeps spending money like this, we're freaking doomed.
- If the government stops spending money like this, we're freaking doomed.

Your Tax Dollars...............from Rico
This is an interesting 'look' at Federal Taxes collected vs. Federal Spending of those Tax Dollars, broken down by state.
- Some clearly 'gave' more and received 'less'...others received 'more' and gave 'less' [well OK, gave is misleading, don't forget for one minute that taxes are collected essentially at gunpoint and under duress from the full might and coercion of the government].
Gee, Barry. Is THAT how you interpret the Marxist credo? (For recent graduates of government-run schools who will not know what that is: "From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs." And NO Barry did NOT say this, he uses different words on his teleprompter, but I think this is what he means.)
On that particularly unhappy thought, here is an "Emergency Austerity Guide" that Big Sis has ordered posted in the processing halls of the new FEMA camps. For your own good, of course.

Winston Churchill - Humour
The current plight of the Costa Concordia reminds me of a comment made by Churchill.
After his retirement he was cruising the Mediterranean on an Italian cruise liner.
Some Italian journalists asked why an ex British Prime Minister should chose an Italian ship.
“There are three things I like about being on an Italian cruise ship” said Churchill.
“First their cuisine is unsurpassed."
"Second their service is superb."
"And then, in time of emergency, there is none of this nonsense about women and children first”.
