Foiling the IRS

Taxpaying time is upon us again: the recurrent nightmare, our national Sturm und Drang period. Soon the public, like a broken and dejected army, will slink from the battlefield, licking its wounds and cursing the IRS. Who would have suspected that such a tiny band of agents could strip us so bare and inflict such casualties? Never have so many owed so much to so few!

But the new fiscal year opens up the delicious prospect of finding new tax loopholes to foil the insidious forces of the IRS. Every patriotic American feels it his bounden duty to search and seize all possible tax shelters; and to aid him in his efforts, I offer the following suggestions from a pamphlet entitled Creative Tax Dodges, published by the Foundation for Finding Fiendish Tax Loopholes (P.O. Box 888, San Quentin, California). Of course I cannot guarantee any of these ideas, and I suggest that you check with your hated IRS agent before using them, and I further suggest that you go to him in disguise.
