I thought so!!

Chris and I received a Supplemental Tax bill a few days ago.

What is a Supplemental Tax bill? It’s when the city sits down, looks at what you already paid, and says, ‘You know what, let’s charge them more! Sure the people are probably broke but we need another $900 toilet seat for the mayor’s bathroom’.

Technically: On July 1, 1983, California State law was changed to require the reassessment of property following a change of ownership or the completion of new construction. This reassessment may result in one or more supplemental tax bills being mailed to the assessed owner, in addition to the annual property tax bill.


How much is our Supplemental Bill?

$666



Nope. I don’t think it’s coincidental that our additional tax assessment is also the ‘mark of the beast’.




We paid $667… just to be safe.

I hate the Federal Government and the State of California…

Chris and I both recently received our W-2's so last night I decided to do our taxes.
After a brief estimation of how much we OWED, yes, OWED, I stopped breathing.

Upon finishing my final calculations, I started coughing blood.

Three THOUSAND six HUNDRED eighty two dollars.

Yup, $3,682.00

With an amount like that, one would assume we haven't been paying anything all year, but let me tell you friends, we paid more than the value of my CAR in taxes last year. They want this on TOP of that amount. We have nothing to claim, no kids, no write off's so we pay top dollar.

That check will hurt my soul to write.

What do I get for my money!?!?

Excuse my language, but, DAMN taxes!!

So for all those paying taxes this year...

Bend over.
