I tried to get out but they pulled me back in

The first time I got some mail from the IRS telling me I could get a stimulus check I just ignored it because I didn't feel like I should get one since I didn't work last year, or the year before that and I won't work this year for that matter. I'm retired due to health reasons that I've written about on here before, and for those of you new to the blog those health reasons are the fact that I had a bad heart and I didn't know it until I had a massive heart attack that nearly killed me. The subsequent quadruple bypass surgery helped me but it did not cure any of the long standing damage that I had done to my heart from years of neglect and from years of smoking, both tobacco and marijuana. I'm not an invalid now and neither am I "handicapped," but I am classified as disabled and so I get a Social Security disability payment every month.

I was more than ready to let our government keep that $600 that they wanted to send me, they are deeper in debt than I am, they've got a war of terror to fight after all.
But they can't leave well enough alone. I got a letter in the mail today from the IRS telling me that it was not too late to file a tax return, something I have not done since 2005, so that I can get that economic stimulus check. Hell, if they're so fired up that I file way late just so I can have them turn around and send me $600, I figured why the hell shouldn't I? I can't look a gift horse in the mouth can I? So I bit the bullet and filled out the form the way they instructed me to and I'll be sending it off tomorrow.

If you ask me it's still a pretty fucked up situation. My disability income is non taxable so I don't file any tax returns, but they want me to file one so I can get my George W. "hush money" check. Well all right then, I'll file to get money that shouldn't be coming to me and I'll take that cash and do something crazy with it. If I get it in time I'll donate some to the Obama campaign and if the election is already over then I'll give some to Amnesty International or the United Negro College Fund (either one would piss off the Bushies, and hopefully we'll be in a new to us house by then and I'll put the rest on a recliner or something. Or maybe I'll buy some porn mags and send them to our soldiers who are trapped in Iraq fighting for corporate America.
