Thoughts on a Day: On Taxes



March 6, 1991, Thursday
On Taxes

Special thoughts today are flooding my mind. l am trying to organize the bills for tax time. Every year I am doing the same thing with a renewed resolution that this year I will have everything filed as it should be, and I will not need to search for one lost entry. 

But no, last year's resolution has made things a bit more organized, Yet there are some statements misfiled or misplaced. Here is hoping they are not missing entirely. I should learn that misfiling takes twice as long because I put them away once hurriedly and do not take the time to find the proper place. Later I have to spend time re-finding, resorting, and refiling.

So many people complain about the necessity of paying  taxes. They complain about the Governor getting the taxes, which he doesn't. I thought how Jay always says as he moistens (he will not lick a stamp) and stamps the Tax envelopes. "It is great to live in a country which allows us to go and do as we choose. It is an honor to pay taxes for all the freedoms we do enjoy."
