DAMN THE IRS

This is some bullshit! At the end of April I received a letter from the IRS indicating that I was entitled to a $900 stimulus check and it should arrive on 16-May. The letter further indicated that if I didn’t get it by 16-May, wait for 6 weeks before contacting the IRS. Since Trinity and I had already decided to move our wedding up from 18-Apr-09 to 14-Jun-08, this money would really come in handy! So I figured cool, 6 weeks after 16-May is the end of June. I’ll come back from my honeymoon and have another wedding gift waiting. So, based upon this data, I made some financial decisions based on being "stimulated" by the IRS…BAD MOVE!!! I mean, I figured I could trust the government, at least where the IRS was concerned! Wrong!

So needless to say, I came back from my very relaxing honeymoon to a letter saying that they applied my stimulus check to my 2005 tax debt. Wait a minute, what was that whole thing on the IRS’s website that talked about the difference between a rebate and refund? Refund checks are when you overpay taxes but this stimulus package is supposed to be a reBATE and is not dependent upon anything except you have to file a return and make less than $75k. What a fuckin’ racket! THEY LIED!!!

That’ll be the last time I bank on anything until it’s in my hot little hands! I'm pissed off AGAIN!

…Just my thoughts…err ranting for today…
