Couldn't they just post it on a gov't server in PDF form and save all those printing costs? Just waste 101 for our bloated federal gov't.

A picture of the slap in the face to every American with a brain

Jeff,
Then everyone would pull it up on thier PC and print it. There is no such thing as the paperless society.

$2.9 trillion. 300 million population. That's almost $10,000 per person. That's obscene

Terry,
Do you think every American should pay $10k?
For example, lets say you earn $28k per year, and someone else earns $1 million per year.
Should each person pay $10K?

CM,
I don't know why you think I am in favor of a regressive tax policy.
My point was that on average, a family of four pays just less than $40K per year in federal taxes. That's obscene.
