Actual ‘Letter to the   Editor’ from the February 5th edition of the Wichita Falls, Texas Times   Record News…

Dear   IRS,

I am sorry to inform you that I will not be able to pay taxes owed April 15,   but all is not lost.

I have paid these taxes: accounts receivable tax, building permit tax, CDL   tax, cigarette tax, corporate income tax , dog   license tax, federal income tax , unemployment   tax, gasoline tax, hunting license tax , fishing   license tax, waterfowl stamp tax, inheritance tax ,   inventory tax, liquor tax, luxury tax , medicare   tax, city, school and county property tax (up   33 percent last 4 years), real estate tax, social   security tax , road usage tax, toll road tax ,   state and city sales tax, recreational vehicle tax, state franchise tax,   state unemployment tax, telephone federal excise tax ,   telephone federal state and local surcharge tax, telephone minimum usage   surcharge tax, telephone state and local tax, utility tax, vehicle license   registration tax, capitol gains tax, lease severance tax, oil and gas assessment   tax, Colorado property tax, Texas, Colorado, Wyoming, Oklahoma and New Mexico sales tax, and many more that I can’t   recall but I have run out of space and money.

When you do not receive my check April 15, just know that it is an honest   mistake. Please treat me the same way you treated Congressmen Charles Rangle,   Chris Dodd, Barney Frank and ex-Congressman Tom Dashelle and, of course, your   boss Timothy Geithner. No penalties and no interest.

P.S. I will make at least a partial payment as   soon as I get my stimulus check.
