About this dependant of yours...

'Even after death you must pay a tax - the sin tax, , ,'

IRS, 'You have to mail us your return, Mr. Fogarty -- phoning in a pledge isn't enough.'

"My costs are up - I'll need more money..."

'Do you remember my old classmate Bob? He was always honest. He worked like a dog and never was a tax dodger or a moonlighter and he never had debts. Last week, he was found starved to death in a subway tunnel...'

I don't think we can survive here. There's little chance we can afford the taxes.

'Brilliant, Prof.Brainstorm. Any fool can come up with a new product, you've come up with a new tax break.'

'...and at this point I'm afraid the tax laws become totally theoretical.'

Lots of famous art may have been inspired by taxes. Jackson Pollack's "Number 5" could be a visual representation of global regulations. And perhaps Rodin's "The Thinker" is a man trying to understand those rules. Maybe Roy Lichtenstein's "Ohhh ...
