LETTERS
I am
sorry to inform you that I will not be
able to pay taxes owed April 15, but all
is not lost.
I have
paid these taxes: accounts receivable tax,
building permit tax, CDL tax, cigarette
tax, corporate income tax, dog license
tax, federal income tax, unemployment tax,
gasoline tax, hunting license tax, fishing
license tax, waterfowl stamp tax,
inheritance tax, inventory tax, liquor
tax, luxury tax, Medicare tax, city,
school and county property tax (up 33
percent last 4 years), real estate tax,
social security tax, road usage tax, toll
road tax, state and city sales tax,
recreational vehicle tax, state franchise
tax, state unemployment tax, telephone
federal excise tax, telephone federal
state and local surcharge tax, telephone
minimum usage surcharge tax, telephone
state and local tax, utility tax, vehicle
license registration tax, capitol gains
tax, lease severance tax, oil and gas
assessment tax, Colorado property tax,
Texas, Colorado, Wyoming, Oklahoma and New
Mexico sales tax, and many more that I
can't recall but I have run out of space
and money.
When you
do not receive my check April 15, just
know that it is an honest mistake. Please
treat me the same way you treated
Congressmen Charles Rangel, Chris Dodd,
Barney Frank and ex-Congressman Tom
Daschle and, of course, your boss Timothy
Geithner. No penalties and no interest.
P.S. I
will make at least a partial payment as
soon as I get my stimulus check.

DEAR
LOCAL YOKELS,
After decades of assault from
environmental activist groups, Oregon’s
timber industry is now being defended by
some as environmentally superior to the
alternative: selling land to developers.
Amazing that alternatives are usually
overlooked.
