Happy Freakin Tax Day!

Hello People! In honor of tax day, I thought I would give you some inspirational information to make writing that check to the IRS a little easier! As you may know, IRS Commissioner Jack Koskinen told us not to bother calling the IRS because the Taxman wouldn't be answering. Koskinen said the IRS was broke, understaffed and just too busy to pick up the phone. So, imagine my surprise when I learned that, over the past 5 years, the IRS spent $96.4 million dollars on office furniture! That's not even the most upsetting thing. During that same time, the IRS also spent $4.3 million on "market research and public opinion polls"! I could have saved you the time. You suck and we hate you! There you have it, free of charge! But wait! That's not all. They also bought an $8,000 Stair Climber and spent tens of thousands of dollars on TOYS! Yup, toys, including, but not limited to stuffed animals, toy footballs, kazoos, bathtub toy boats and Thomas the Tank rubber wristbands! These dumbfounding purchases were, according to the IRS, to decorate their offices and as give-a-ways at manager meetings. Whew! for a minute there I thought they were just wasting money. Oh, just so you know, if you are one of the lucky 40% of callers who actually get through to the IRS, you may get hung up on. That's okay. The IRS calls that a "courtesy disconnect" which they use to "save time" on callers who don't like what they're hearing. LOL! Try that at your job and see how it works for you. By the way, the average IRS agent makes $82,000 a year.
On to Education! A 10th grade history teacher in Wisconsin gave her students an interesting project. They were told to "imagine they were a Muslim living in America" and write a 5 paragraph essay about their average day and the struggles they face because of their religion. What? This is wrong on so many levels I don't know where to begin. First of all, if this is some PC attempt to understand Islam, why not write a paper on the "struggles" Muslim women face everywhere on the Planet except America? How about an average day for a woman living under Sharia Law? Next, what happened to keeping religion out of public education? Isn't that why Christmas vacation became winter break? Finally, since these students aren't actually Muslims, isn't this assignment really asking students to stereotype Muslims? Is the student to assume that all female Muslims are teased for wearing their Hijab? I would guess many Hasidic Jewish students face similar taunts. Why not image a day in the life of a Jew or a Catholic? Oh wait, I already know the answer to that, and so do you. There's been no comment on parental complaints about the assignment from the teacher or the school.
I'll leave you with this: Judicial Watch, Inc. (a non-partisan government watchdog group) says during a recent investigation they discovered that ISIS had opened a a training camp in Anapra, Mexico. They cite a Mexican Army Officer and a Mexican Federal Police Inspector as their source that the Juarez Drug Cartel was protecting the compound and "smuggling" ISIS operatives across the border. The Mexican officials told Judicial Watch that they found documents in Arabic, Muslim prayer rugs and a map of  Fort Bliss.Where is Anapra, Mexico, you ask? Eight miles east of El Paso, Texas. Where is Fort Bliss? Yup, El Paso. I have no idea if this is true. I'm just passing along what I read. It sure is a scary thought. Enjoy the day!
