tax.htm

Tax season is upon us! It is again time to settle up your tab with the machine, and for some reason we at the GSS have a page devoted to it!

So here goes:

It is the opinion of the Graduate Student Senate staff and officers that doing your taxes is a good idea if you have reasonable expectations of a big fat return. If you have to pay money back, it is our well considered notion that it is a great deal less fun.

Under no circumstances do we encourage you to seek tax advice from this page. It will only end in tears...

To make this even more clear, the best we can come up with is the lyrics of an old Public Enemy song & one from the Pharcyde. We hope you like (or even remember) them, too.

I got a letter from the government
The other day
I opened and read it
It said they were suckers
They wanted me for their army or whatever
Picture me given' a damn - I said never

and

Bam! Who's next?
If I were President, if I were President
I'd make sure all the money spent
onnnnnnnn, good things
I wouldn't have no lint in my pocket
I'd rock it rock it I'd shock it
I would not jock the fact that there are
rich people in the world because yo I got a girl
And she needs new clothes and I need new sneakers
And that's all I know
If I were President, if I were President
If I were President, IF I WERE PRESIDENT!
If I was President (what would you do?)
I would not carry, oh no spare change
I would just rearrange, the whole government structure
Cause there seems to be something that's
messing with the flucture of the money (what?)
It's not coming to me
So now it's time for me to tell my homey Jarod D
So I'm, looking at my wallet and I do not have a buck
Damn I'm out of luck, damn I'm feeling stuck

Best of luck...
