IRS form 1040?

Well, it is indeed a “form,” so must be considered.

But whose 1040 would incorporate anything but demonstrable, irrefutable fact?

And against what might that – if such be even possible – be a protest?

(Beware Mr. K’s coq au Jameson.)

I’m suggesting that the form itself, as supplied by the IRS to the citizen, is a protest. It is a protest against the existence of the citizenry themselves.

At least that’s how I feel every time I see one. THEY’RE TRYING TO DRIVE ME OUT OF THIS COUNTRY!!!

I hate the audacity of them asking for a donation to a political fund on a tax form. That is like trying to sell cemetery plots to people who are attending a funeral.
