Oh, ya just gotta love these regressive taxes...

I say, soak the rich.

Of course, if I were rich, I wouldn't say that. But, I'm not and
don't plan to be anytime real soon. Plus, the rich can afford a
legion of tax evasion specialists and end up not owing anything, or
even getting refunds. Me, I just do my little 1040EZ every year, like
a good little prole...
