@WallStreetApes Then you get billed by your accountant and the IRS error costs you $250.
English

American business owner did her taxes, she used an accountant and everything is correct. She mailed the checks to the federal, state and local government
The IRS says she owes $52. She doesn’t
The IRS has sent 10+ letters, even certified mail taped to her door coming after her for this $52. Now they’re sending threatening letters
“Threatening me that now — You will sooner find me in federal prison than see me pay $52 unexplained dollars. And there's some Somalis, Somalians, whatever the they are. In Minnesota taking 8 billion. I think I just saw a thing that it's up to $9 billion in fraud. And you're coming after me, an American business owner, for $52.
I will see you guys in federal prison”

@Mr_Husky1 It’s a fair price. Otherwise have at it! Sounds like he’s doing it the right way.

I'm losing my mind. I called a handyman to fix this one small hole. He had the nerve to quote me $600! For what?! A $20 patch kit from Home Depot? He's trying to tell me he has to 'cut a new square,' 're-tape the seams,' and 'paint the entire wall' to blend it. What a joke! Does he really think I'm that dumb?! He's just trying to scam me into paying for a full day's work for a 30-minute job.

@MrPitbull07 Sounds like private school would suit you best. Or, go ahead and homeschool. Not everyone can teach. It’s actually pretty difficult. Just be prepared when they fall even further behind as you try to figure it out the first year or two

“This is why public school is a JOKE.
And honestly… I’m concerned for the next generation of kids.
A couple weeks ago, we pulled our kids out of school to take them on vacation.
They’re in 3rd grade, 2nd grade, and kindergarten.
We let the teachers know ahead of time.
Asked for assignments so they wouldn’t fall behind.
Their response?
“Don’t worry about it… we’ll catch them up when they get back.”
No big deal, right?
Except the day we leave… the school district starts hounding us.
Threatening to report us to the county if the kids miss any more days.
Our kids rarely miss school.
Are we seriously not allowed to take them anywhere??
Fast forward: we get back, and my son comes home with a mountain of worksheets.
No explanation.
No instruction.
Just, “Here. Figure it out.”
So he spends hours working through it over the next week.
And I’m looking at this stuff thinking… what the hell is this??
Keep in mind, I’m college-educated and run multiple successful businesses.
And I can’t even make sense of it.
Questions like:
“Sam has 155 clams. Richard gives him 137 peaches. If the cows moo while facing north, how many snow cones does he have?”
What are they even learning in there?
Then — a week later — his teacher messages us:
“He got almost all the answers wrong. He’s now failing English.”
So we reach out. Ask if he can redo the assignments.
Not just for a better grade… but so he can actually learn the material.
Her response?
“No. He can’t redo it.”
We try to work with her. Offer to compromise.
Her answer?
“Maybe you shouldn’t go on vacation.”
I’m done, dude.
Our kids are in ELEMENTARY school.
And this is already the circus we’re dealing with.
I don’t want to homeschool. I never thought I’d even consider it.
But the way this system is run?
It’s starting to look like the better option.
So here’s my honest question:
What are we supposed to do?
Because if this is the best public education can offer…
No wonder kids are falling behind.” ~Mike Wingard

This American’s mom just died and was going through her paperwork
Her mom and dad paid in roughly $1 million combined into social security throughout their lives
Her dad died before he could collect, her mom only collected for 4 years at 32k per year
They got back $128,000 combined from social security before they both died after paying in a million
This is a scam

So my wife goes to the post office to send a package internationally. She has our toddler with her, asleep.
There is NO ONE in the post office. It is 11:55. She rings the bell for assistance.
A woman comes out and says, " That is international. It will take me longer than 5 minutes to send, and it is my lunch break at 12. Come back at 1."
So my wife leaves carrying a sleeping child. No wonder @USPS gets a bad rap.

@therobertbrooks States like Delaware send me a penalty knowing damn well my payment was on time. But they know it’s cheaper to pay the small penalty than fighting it with an accountant. Get me every year.

I got audited for 2022 taxes and the IRS told me I owed like 17,000 in taxes.
I didn't owe them anything.
I sent every piece of evidence and written explanations of every dollar.
The rejected my response, charged more interest and said I owed them 19k now. Even though it took them 11 months to respond.
Had to get a CPA to send a response saying the same thing I said. Cost me $2k for that.
Just got a letter which basically says, ahh.. nevermind.. we are closing the audit.
Very happy I don't have to pay off the US government to get them to leave me alone.
Not very happy I can't bill them the $2k and about 4 fulls days of my own labor that I had to spend to tell them they are incompetent.

George Carlin nails it:
“When your identity is your ideology, congratulations—you’ve officially screwed yourself.
It’s not just an idea anymore. It’s YOU.
Challenge it? That’s an attack.
So you build a bubble: everyone agrees, hates the same people, collapses on cue.
Facts die. Logic’s dead. Admitting wrong = being wrong.
Unacceptable.
So you double down dumber, defending nonsense like scripture—not because it’s true, but because without it, you’d have to develop a personality.”
🔥 Who does this describe MORE today—Dems or Republicans? #GeorgeCarlin #PoliticalTribalism

NEW: Insurance giants are hiding billions meant to lower Americans’ drug costs.
Our year-long investigation details how CVS, UnitedHealth, and Cigna created shell companies to evade reform efforts and hide payments received from drugmakers.
