Pay your taxes! You don't need to eat...

It should be pointed out, however, that due to COVID restrictions, spending on entertainment is way down. Nevertheless, that's a pretty staggering tax burden.

    Price controls.... When you can only charge
    1 bolivar for a loaf of bread and it costs 2 bolivars to produce it , well no one will produce it. Case closed.

    Hmm don’t eat- great way to lose weight. But then again I can not work and do the same thing, and pay less taxes too

    Bone the roast, freeze it with some meat, keep adding bones to the bag until you have enough (3-5, depending on bone size), add it to a kettle of water, then simmer for several hours until the marrow and meat fall apart. Add celery, onion, potatoes, carrots, parsley, tomatoes, your choice of seasoning or additional veggies (I use rutabaga, parsnip and turnip). Simmer until veggies reach your choice of tender. Boil up some noodles or add dumplings. The leftover soup can be frozen for another day or three.

    I filed on paper, not efile, but I have learned to make them SIGN for the return, or it will be "not received," but yeah I got my refund back quite a while ago. I think I filed in Mid March because after that we were completely involved in packing and moving.

    Along with illegal Antifa and BLM goons the Neo Communists need a "legal front" to whip and flay the people into submission and the IRS is the perfect tool. Stalin would be proud.

    Has she tried Spelt? It's an ancient wheat that is good for those that can't have modern day wheat after being cleansed (stop eating) for a year or more.
    It's about 4 or 5 bucks a loaf at my Natural Food Store. I love the Spelt Cinnamon raisin bread.

    Thanks for the tip: Can't do pork, screws my body up. My body fights the pork as if it was an invading blood type. [mimics A type blood]
    No more colds once I stopped eating pork.
    We do a lot with roasts and corned beef...I get extra sand-a-wich-es!!!

    But, I'll add that we do spend more money on food that is good for my wife to keep her sugar level off the floor.

    Bought a bone in ham for $9 a week ago .about 8 meals but the bonus is boiling the ham bones for 5 hrs and adding sweet potato pieces , onion , a little bouillon and split peas. For another $5 10 more meals easy.

    The bill would also allocate another $80 billion to the Internal Revenue Service so that the agency can enforce payments from high-income taxpayers. That can pay for a lot of goons with guns. To put into perspective there are 35,000 FBeye agents /. 80 billion buys you 80,000 irs agents paid $100.000.00 . Apply now! Currently 75,000 IRS employees.

    As the traitor GW Bush said after 9-11, Get out and go shopping!
    (If there's anything left after I pay my bills. Unlike you, I'm not a looter.)

    Just curious, aside from the the hole digging 'stimulus' checks, has anyone received their federal refund from last year? Our State only got to us last week.

    My property taxes are more than double that and "Other taxes" are also.

    I have been only eating 2 meals a day since 2010 with a brief interlude during the Trump Era.

    Pretty soon I'll be down to one meal a day!!!
