I just filed my taxes. In addition to the paperwork (filed electronically) I just sent the United States Government a depressingly large amount of money. I figured I would owe them a bit this year, but I must have goofed figuring out my withholding because it was a lot more than I thought.
Last night, I heard the IRS commissioner talking about how the IRS stimulated the economy because all the tax refunds help kick off the spring shopping season. Even ignoring the economic ignorance behind thinking taxes stimulate the economy, I can tell you that I’m not very stimulated right now.
