“Hammer vs. Gavel”

MC Hammer is being sued for owing back taxes to the US government.  Hammer famously declared bankruptcy back in 1996, but the IRS still thinks he had pretty deep pockets.  Why else would he have worn those huge, baggy pants with the crotch that only went to the knees?

Like they say, they only 2 things that are certain in life are debt and taxes.

"Cheaters"

A new survey finds that people who cheat on their taxes are also more likely to keep the wrong change given to them by a cashier, or to keep a $20 bill they saw someone drop. They also wish survey conductors would just mind their own damn business.

“Internet Revenue Service”

The IRS announced that they will no longer be sending tax packages and paper forms in the mail. In keeping with the times, they now want to screw you electronically.

Taxpayers can file for free on the IRS website, www.bendover.gov.

IRS agents will be monitoring the electronically filed returns closely, mostly pissed off that they haven’t yet figured out a way to tax the Internet, itself.

The government claims that refunds will be issued much faster than with paper returns and paper checks being issued. Now, all they have to do is make a direct deposit in your account – right after they watch this adorable cat video on YouTube.

Eventually, the IRS may even move to Twitter, but they don’t want to have to limit the deductions they disallow to only 140.
