Why I Hate Spring
Posted by Tom Purcell at 4/3/2008 9:26 PM and is filed under uncategorized 
Ah, yes, the tax season. One of the most miserable times of the year -- particularly if you are self-employed and you see, penny by excruciating penny, how incredibly high our taxes really are.
I'm pretty miserable about now, because I'm always behind on the incredible task of organizing all my receipts and records, so I can send the tally to my accountant, so he can tell me I owe WAY MORE THAN I THOUGHT I WOULD!
It's amazing to me that a country founded on freedom and independence has a tax system 50 times more onerous than the simplified flat-tax systems in former Communist countries, including Russia, but it is so as you can read here.
In any event, see more details on our ridiculous tax-preparation woes right here. And, please, if you're in my neighborhood, please swing by with some bourbon.

Tom, If you were a woman, the #1 reason you would hate spring, esp. in New England,is that you feel compelled to wear a more springish wardrobe, thus inevitably freezing and suffering the mortification of ghastly white winter limbs; truly horrific!!!
