Too bad this won't work....
Dear Internal Revenue Service:
Enclosed you will find my 2005 tax return showing that I owe $3,407.00 in taxes.
Please note the attached article from the USA Today newspaper, dated 12
November, wherein you will see the Pentagon (Department of Defense) is paying
$171.50 per hammer and NASA has paid $600.00 per toilet seat.
I am enclosing four (4) toilet seats (valued @ $2,400) and six (6) hammers
valued @ $1,029), which I secured at Home Depot, bringing my total remittance
to $3,429.00.
Please apply the overpayment of $22.00 to the "Presidential Election Fund," as
noted on my return. You can do this inexpensively by sending them one (1) 1.5 "
Phillips Head screw (see aforementioned article from USA Today newspaper
detailing how H.U.D. pays $22.00 each for 1.5" Phillips Head Screws). One screw
is enclosed for your convenience.
It has been a pleasure to pay my tax bill this year, and I look forward to
paying it again next year.
Sincerely,
A Satisfied Taxpayer
