Emil sends in a Gem from the Left Coast

Dear IRS,

I'm sorry to inform you that I'm not going to be able to pay
the taxes owed on April 15th, but all is not lost.

I paid these taxes: accounts receivable tax, building permit tax,
CDL tax, corporate income tax, dog license tax, federal income tax,
unemployment tax, gas tax, hunting license tax, fishing license
tax, waterfowl stamp tax, inheritance tax, inventory tax, liquor
tax, luxury tax, Medicare tax, city tax, school and county property
tax up to 33% the last four years. Real estate tax, Social Security
tax, road use tax, toll road tax, state and city sales tax,
recreational vehicle tax, sales franchise tax, state unemployment
tax, federal excise tax, telephone tax, telephone federal state and
local surcharge tax, telephone minimum usage surcharge tax,
telephone state and local tax, utility tax, vehicle tax,
registration tax, capital gains tax, lease severance tax, oil and
gas assessment tax, Colorado property tax, Texas, Colorado, Wyoming,
Oklahoma, Mexico sales tax and many more I can't recall and I've
run out of space and money.

When you do not receive my check April 15th, just know that it was an
honest mistake. Please treat me the same as the way you've treated
Congressman Charlie Rangel, Chris Dodd, Barney Frank, ex-congressman
Tom Daschle and, of course, your boss, Timothy Geithner.

No penalties, no interest.

Sincerely,
Ed Barnett, Wichita Falls

PS, I'll make at least a partial payment as soon as I get my stimulus
check.
