In this country there is no debtor's prison....unless you owe money to the government...then there is a debtor's prison.

I heard the people opening envelopes and depositing checks will be working, but the people processing refunds won't.
I believe the basic political division in this country is not between liberals and conservatives but between those who believe that they should have a say in the personal lives of strangers and those who do not.

Re: Income tax question??
Are we questioning the questionable question?
I think it's a valid question.
It may be a viable question. It appears to have sprouted into offshoots.
I question what will the Post office do with tax returns and refund checks when the government closes and the mail is undeliverable.
Will they be stored with "letters to Santa?"
Will they all be marked "No such person at this address, RTS/Return to Sender?"

Am I the only one rooting for a Federal Govt shut down?
Last I checked, we didn't disband our military or other essential services when this happened before. Sounds like the perfect way to right-size the Fed govt in a hurry.

Then again, maybe everyone will be able to see that life still goes on and we really don't need all the government that we have now, leading to future cuts - Hey, a guy can dream, right?
