Can You Give Thanks for Taxes or the IRS?
As we get ready to celebrate the Thanksgiving holiday I am and will be doing what most Americans are and thinking of the things that I am thankful for in my life. Included in my list are Christ, my family and friends, fulfilling work, and there is much more that I am sure I take for granted. I think my list is similar to 99% of Americans, but that got me thinking - are there people (other than those in Washington D.C.) "thankful" for taxes or the IRS? Can we be thankful for those things? I say, "absolutely!"
Taxes pay for those things that make our country great. Sure there is the debate on how wisely those tax dollars are spent, but the USA would not be the great country that it is without the things that our taxes pay for. We wouldn’t have the freedoms that we have that our Armed Forces provide for us if our taxes didn’t pay for it. So, this Thanksgiving, instead of complaining about the taxes that we are paying or the IRS that is collecting, give thanks for the great things that our tax dollars provide that we take for granted every day. Then, tomorrow you can get back to worrying about how are tax dollars are being spent and I will get back to fighting the IRS for the best possible deals for my clients.
