Man Catches Home Run Ball - IRS Wants In

[Retane]

Of course the IRS is money-grubbing: They have to pay for millions upon millions of seniors' retirements and medical care. They have to pay for people who can not work. They have to build roads that YOU drive on. According to law, the IRS is perfectly entitled to tax the young man for the estimated value of the baseball. I don't see what the big problem is.

I don't know about you, but I'm sure the people from the IRS don't run the excavator that mucks up the road, I'm sure they don't survey the land ant they arent grademen. I'm also nearly positive they dont run the trucks with the good dirt and the ROC, or the asphault for that matter. I'm also positive they wouldnt even know how to run a roller, not to mention a dozer. A backhoe and a loader would make them run for the hills(especially if I was behind the wheel of one of 'em). They don't run the asphault machine, direct the traffic, do anything to make the curbing, shovel the asphault off the curbing, have to deal with the heat of the sky, along with the heat of fresh paved pavement.

No, my good freind, the IRS DOES NOT build the roads I drive on. The only thing the IRS does, that concerns the roads as far as I'm concerned, is tax the construction company that just got paid for building the road, then they go and tax the crew that got paid for doing their job of building the road.

Now I might be stupid here, and correct me if I'm wrong, but the IRS doesn't pay for anything. They just collect money, then they give it to the goverment to do whatever they want with it.

But it's still fucking stupid! That fucking ball was paid for when the MLB paid for it, taxes and what not. It's a ball, thats already been taxed. There should be some double jeapordy tax law thing. =/
