2. I take the "taxpayer-funded playtime" thing personally.

I am retired. I get sporadic (and VERY SMALL) amounts of cash from my former clients for Website maintenance work. LAST YEAR, my accountant said my yearly "income" was so small that I didn't need to file taxes.

I told him "do it anyway" because the "relationship" I want with the IRS is to pay them what they think I owe them annually and then GO AWAY FOR THE NEXT 365 DAYS.

I don't WANT a "relationship" with the IRS beyond that, so I dot every "T" and cross every "T." I have paid taxes, even with tiny income. And knowing it's being spent for that fat-assed toddler's playtime enrages me.
