Something Wicked this way comes...

...the tax man. Though, as someone who has been a ward of the state all my life, I can't gripe too much about taxes. At least now the bulk of our income is from business, not the government (but that gov't pension and disability don't suck).

I just waded through the federal and one state, with one more state to go. Ever since I retired I've been sending Uncle Sugar largish checks on April 15th. This year, the tax cuts, and the full impact of my VA rating means we're getting a refund this year. Whee! Tell me again why I want to vote for Kerry Waffles?

Update: Now isn't this pathetic. I've finished up my second state, and I'm *pleased* to find out that I have given the Federal Government and two State Government's interest-free loans of my money.

Shows how well the conditioning works, huh?
