Maybe we should have made our checks out to Dick Cheney instead of the IRS
The check I mailed to the Feds on Tuesday was enought to buy 1/518 of a Patriot missile. As I dropped my return into the mail slot, I imagined the stacks of Iraqi bodies I helped create, the financial opportunities for Dick Cheney and Haliburton I'd made possible, the oil company property safeguarded by my money. (Strains of Lee Greenwood's "I'm Proud to Be An American" swell, then fade.)
