Life is Not Fair

IRS: Hello; This is the IRS helpline. What is your problem?
Obviously, you owe us money or you would not be calling.

CITIZEN: Can you explain why I owe you money?

IRS: Its called taxes.

CITIZEN: Well how much do I owe?

IRS: That is your job to figure it out.

CITIZEN: So I just pay you what I want?

IRS: No. We know exactly how much you owe.

CITIZEN: So why won’t you tell me?

IRS: You have to calculate that number yourself.

CITIZEN: What if I get it wrong?

IRS: You have 20% interest, penalties. We could also
take your home and put you in prison.

CITIZEN: This does not seem fair.

IRS: Blame your mother.

CITIZEN: What does my mother have to do with this?

IRS: It was her job to tell you the truth.

CITIZEN: What is that?

IRS: Life is not fair!
