Income Taxes, The Vampire of Civilization
The Bite
Introduction
"The man with the dagger... gave a maniacal laugh and flayed another strip of flesh, then bent langorously to lick the raw wound with an obscene, blood-stained tongue.1"
There is, you understand, an ecstasy, a surge of I dont know what. A kick... in the drinking of the life as it pours from the veins of another. It is not only the taste of blood... We are as much creatures of the psychic as the physical. We perceive things differently from human perceptions. We can taste feel the texture of the minds of others, and at no time more intensely than when the human mind is crying out in death. That is what we drink, as well as the blood the psychic force, which answers to and feeds our own psychic abilities to control the minds of others.2
The IRS auditor stares at you with eyes narrowing to a tiny bead, licks his fingers to turn the page of your check register, and quietly asks, "Hmmm, vhat do ve haf here? It looks like you forgot to report this deposit on your tax return. Hmmm...? Perhaps ve should look at the prior year's return, also." You turn beet red and swear to yourself that if you get out of this alive you'll put a stake through your own heart. There's just no way you want to go through another audit. The IRS has already sucked dry all of your bank accounts and cash savings. Next thing you know, they'll be wanting blood!!!
Does the above seem familiar? Has it happened to you or some one you know? Do you absolutely hate April 15th (or August 15th or October 15th if you are a procrastinator)? Has the IRS already gotten your "blood"? (Are they really in competition with the Red Cross?) Do you feel as if there is no point in trying to get ahead because if you do the IRS will drag you back and slam you in a coffin? Do you have to work nights just to get a little extra nourishment after working all day to feed the Master Vampire?3
You are not alone. There are over 100 million personal tax returns filed each year.4 The Department of Treasury states, "Last year (1994) total tax collections exceeded $1.1 trillion and the IRS processed almost 2 billion documents, including more than 200 million tax returns." (Includes personal and business returns.)5 In 1977, according to Robert Hall and Alvin Rabushka, Senior Fellows of the Hoover Institution of Stanford University, taxpayers spent over 613 million hours filling out their tax forms.6 C.A.T.S. (Citizens for an Alternative tax System), in a promotional flyer, estimates that the current (1994) time spent on tax preparation is 5.4 to 6 billion hours per year. In 17 years the time spent on tax preparation has increased by a factor of nine, and this in an era of speedy personal computers that do most of the work. James L. Payne, Director of Lytton Research and Analysis in Idaho, estimates, "That [5.4 to 6 billion hours] translates into 2,900,000 workers - the work force of Indiana - working all year long."7 In other words, the average time to prepare 200 million tax returns in 1994 was 27 - 30 hours per return8. That's a lot of time and aggravation. It's about time for a change. It's time to get rid of the vampire (income tax) and his minions (IRS)
