POLSON — Well, if you haven’t filed your IRS form 1040 EZ by the time you read this, it’s not too late to file for an extension. That EZ at the end is supposed to mean “Easy,” but it never is. If you work a 40-hour work week for 52 weeks it figures out to a 2080-hour work year. The IRS named the standard form 1040 for some reason. My guess is that if 1040 is one half of 2080 then you must work half a year just to pay your taxes. Most people pay up without too much grumbling. The frustration comes with how the money is spent, or how some folks (other than you) do not pay their fair share. Ben Franklin said it best by observing there are only two things we can be sure of: death and taxes. My grand pappy said, “Ifs ya wanna dance to da music, y’ gotta pay da fiddlah.”
