It’s The Final Countdown

By Greg Michaels

It’s now or never time for people deciding between trusting there will be any sort of amnesty as part of the IRS’ tax amnesty program or betting that between system glitches and the ability to flee the country in time, they can avoid the tax man’s reach. Come September 23rd, if you haven’t come forward to atone for your sins, IRS Commissioner Doug Shulman, warned “all bets are off”. Based on the revelation that 400 people turned themselves in during one week in July, the IRS seems to think they’ve got the upper hand and declared, “They are all terrified”. They should be. Based on regulators’ preference for speedy, low-ball settlements following crimes, the prospect of paying two to three times that amount for coming forward to avoid being charged with one is down right horrifying.

    Greg, I’m going to fill your blanus with candy, suspend you from the ceiling, and have Mexican kids beat you with sticks.

    Greñata is a brightly-colored papier-mâché, cardboard, or clay container, originating from Mexico, and filled with any combination of candy, small fruit, food items, and toys. It is generally suspended on a rope from a tree branch or ceiling and is used during celebrations – like EP’s departure. A succession of stick-wielding, often blindfolded children try to break the Greñata in order to collect the useless contents.

    2,
    As a fellow Jeff Macke, you pretty much rule the roost with that comment. Well done.
