The deadbeat deadline approaches...

I don't know about you, but I've been fairly disgusted by the plethora of TV ads pushing any number of supposedly legal tax avoidance schemes that just don't seem to sit right from an ethical standpoint. This is all leading up to a September 23 deadline for rich deadbeats to pay their taxes.

The TV ads I'm referring to feature some pretty smarmy goofballs saying things like this...


"We owed $150,000 in taxes, and EatMyTaxBill.com negotiated a payment of just $12,000 to the IRS; we saved almost $140,000!"

No, you didn't save anything. What you did was beat the USA out of $140,000 worth of taxes you owed!

Either pay your damn taxes or live within your means so you don't have to call 1-800-DED-BEAT and whine!

Millions of Americans pay their taxes in full and on time, so why can't you?

OH! OH! I know why!

Because your deadbeats, that's why.
