Open letter

Dear government asshats,

Please stop sending me letters telling me you've "revised" my tax claim for last year and demanding more money. Seriously, this is the third time this year I've had to cut you a damned cheque, and I'm getting a little tired of it. The horse is dead (and broke), so please stop beating it. How many times in one year can you harp on a teeny tiny thing like my poor, insignificant T4? Really. How many? Is it a little challenge you've issued to your department? "Hey, let's see if we can drive this random taxpayer around the bend! First one to make her crack gets a Christmas bonus!"

Where the hell is the vaunted tax break you promised? Oh, right. I'm not allowed a tax break because I'm not a wealthy landowner.

Well, fuck you too.

No love,

Me

Sounds like the Canadian tax people are as bad as the American tax people. I got the same sort of notice and I just don't have the money, so I am going to stretch this out as long as possible before making some sort of payment arrangement. Still don't know how we are going to do it though.

Gah. I'm sorry to hear that. This latest amount isn't huge. I mean, my paycheques are so measly to begin with that they can't possibly charge me more than I earn in a given year. That would be silly.

I'd love to have a government (for once) that doesn't punish people for being poor.

Working on it.
