You probably get a better return though in the way of social services and and delivery. 2/3 of my taxes go to pay interest on the debt and fighting wars that have no reasonable cause for involvement.
The IRS, surprisingly has been an advocate for me. When I got my social security disability retro active almost 4 years, the HRBlock guy really screwed up and I paid out $7,000 which was not necessary and in a dozen discussions over 10 months, the IRS helped me get it straight and refunded the entire amount.

Yup, it’s the same over here in the UK – the government takes all of our money in taxes too 😦
Great cartoon! xx

I wonder if IRS agents ever feel like modern day pirates?
I just wish we would tax Big Oil instead of subsidizing it ~ to the tune of $21 billion a year.

Wonderful cartoon, but the IRS might be better suited as sharks.
You are the only person I know who has ever been “helped” by the IRS!

Think about how Mel Fisher felt when he discovered the Atrocha
When they came he must have said to himself “this is atrochious”
