The month of April has arrived and this usually means that most people are preparing for tax season by trying to find those department store receipts hidden under their couches and hoping that they don’t owe any extra money to the big government that will most likely waste their money on some fruitless endeavor. Many people hate tax season and every tax help website that I find usually tries to add a smart joke or two on their site as a way to help their clients deal with the stress of having to file their tax return. We won’t be doing this on our site as taxes aren’t fun and we’d rather tell you in a quote how much they suck rather than pretend they’re some funny little office joke. We had to reach back into the 1920s to find someone for the job but we managed to find a person with a great quote. Will Rogers is a celebrity who was popular in the 1920s-1930s. He was an American cowboy, humorist, social commentator and actor. He was a leading political commentator who spoke about controversial topics such as gangsters and prohibition but was never censored and was adored by national audiences. He ended up being the top paid actor at the time and also dabbled in radio appearances and several newspaper columns. His other passion was aviation having flown to many far reaching destinations and describing these locations to any that would listen. Unfortunately, aviation would also be his downfall as a plane he was flying in Alaska ended up crashing and killing both him and fellow aviator Wiley Post. Here is a quote from Rogers discussing the difference between the sport of golf and taxes…
| “The income tax has made more liars out of the American people than golf has.” – Will Rogers |
