I’m not a fan of following celebrities’ Twitter feeds, but I couldn’t resist checking out what Dilbert creator Scott Adams claimed was a collection of his best tweets. He had some good ones regarding topics I like to include in this blog, such as these.
I knew a guy with passion to be a pro golfer and the brain to be a great accountant. He followed his passion. He’s homeless now.
Bank said by phone it takes ten days to issue new credit card. I said it is 2015 where I am and asked what decade I had called.
My grandfather used to give me a quarter whenever I visited him on the farm. It taught me a valuable lesson about being underpaid.
Time is money. Money is power. Power corrupts. So don’t give anyone your time because it will corrupt them.
I tell people that money can’t buy happiness just to reduce the odds of being robbed.

The White House announced that many Obamacare customers got the wrong tax information and may have to refile their taxes this year. It’s pretty inconvenient — mainly just remembering what you lied about the first time you filed your taxes.
Internal Revenue Service officials complained Tuesday that budget cuts were severely restricting the ability of the IRS to provide service to taxpayers. It’s frenetic. IRS agents are so buried by work they automatically referred the rapper Ice Tea for an audit just assuming he was a conservative group.
Hillary Clinton agreed to testify to the House committee on the Benghazi attack but the House can’t get State’s records. The president’s in the clear. President Obama can prove he knew nothing about a terrorist attack on the consulate, he was too busy not knowing anything about the IRS scandal.
This week’s song on the Capitol Steps’ website is a tribute to bHo’s desire to steal as much income from the evil rich so that he can buy votes and shower gifts on campaign contributors.
Yesterday Obama presented a $4 trillion budget that he says would help the middle class. Then the middle class said, “You know what? How about you just give us the $4 trillion? We’ll figure out what to do with it.”
President Obama unveiled a $4 trillion budget for 2016 that would increase taxes on the wealthy and spend more money on education. He also made a snowball and put it in the oven, just to see which would last longer, his budget or the snowball.
Today was the first day you could file a tax return. If you filed a tax return today, congratulations, nerd.
People who file their taxes on the first day are the grown-up version of the kids who ask the teacher for extra homework in school.
The IRS suggests filing early to reduce the chance that someone will steal your identity and file before you. Honestly, if somebody wants my identity so badly they’ll file my tax return for me, go crazy. You can mow my lawn while you’re at it, too.
I have always been a big fan of parody and satire when it’s done well. The Onion and National Report have been turning out great satire on the web. I can’t resist the urge to post the tax related ones that may soon become reality, such as this one from National Report.
California Withholding Tax Refunds Due in 2015 Until 2016 – This is so effective because it piggybacks on tactics that the rulers of the PRC have actually used in previous years, delaying tax refund payments in order to help the State’s cash flow. It has also long been true that the FTB is much more ruthless and aggressive than the IRS when it comes to collecting taxes that it believes are owed. It is not a parody that the FTB actually helps train IRS agents on how to more effectively squeeze money out of people.
