Thank you America!

Today is October 15, and I finally got my final tax return filed. I'm a small business owner with a total of 14 employees. I pay a lot of taxes and my employees pay a lot of taxes.

I gladly write the check(s). America gives me a great opportunity every day.

By the way, I'm proud that I paid more than double Mitt's effective tax rate for 2011.

So, thank you America!

...I'm infuriated that the greediest of the wealthy have managed to corrupt our taxation laws in the last 50 years.

We need a good, old fashioned revolution IMO.

Your tax dollars and those of your employees contribute to the greater good. At least they are supposed to(but that's a different story).
