Funny Sayings about Taxes

I recently received a newsletter from a friend and it contained some funny sayings about taxes that I thought many of you would enjoy. Here they are:

• "Worried about an IRS audit? Avoid what's called a 'red flag.' That's something the IRS always looks for. For example, say you have some money left in your bank account after paying taxes. That's a red flag." Jay Leno

• "The Internal Revenue Code is about 10 times the size of the Bible -- and unlike the Bible, contains no good news." Don Rickles

• "We contend that for a nation to try and tax itself into prosperity is like a man standing in a bucket and trying to lift himself up by the handle." Sir Winston Churchill

Ha ha.

Someone told me a funny one about taxes the other day.

It seems that a tax payer was grumbling and the IRS guy told him that this is a great country, full of opportunities, blah, blah, blah.You should pay your taxes with a smile.
So the taxpayer did, and was told to pay in cash.

When you put the two words "the" and "IRS" together it spells "theirs."

The IRS's slogan is: We've got what it takes to take what you've got.
