Dear IRS,

[XNASA]

I have been unable to sleep, knowing that I've cheated on my income tax. I understated my taxable income, and have enclosed a check for $150.00.

Sincerely,

XNASA





P. S. If I still have trouble sleeping, I'll send the rest.

1. Thank God we finally paid off that Spanish-American war

April 14, 2007 — Wars are expensive. They are now and they were more than a century ago.

Hard pressed to pay for the Spanish-American War in 1898, the government imposed an excise tax on long distance calls from those new-fangled telephones. It was considered a tax on the well-to-do, since they were the ones able to afford such luxuries.

The war ended quickly, but the tax remained.

Last year, Washington finally killed the tax, and offered refunds for all taxes collected after February 2003. But tax cheats figured a way to get more than they should.
