Income tax in this country is ridiculous. It's a labyrinthine concoction of numerical dips and doodles. I've never paid a single dollar in federal income tax because I never earned enough to become eligible... always got a rebate. This year it was about $2.2K. I'm almost fifty.
It's heartbreaking to see governing bodies, senior politicians, get swindled by shady contractors to the tune of irrecoverable amounts of money for 'project X' or whatever. Good and hard-working people, too busy to follow the money, footing the bill for their negligence or laziness.
