Neal's Yearly Tax Speach

Nealz Nuze is a a role today. Tax time is why I realy love neal.

"..we have the great American wage earners who have no clue as to how much they paid in federal income taxes this year. They just know they're getting a refund. That's it. If you walk up to one of these myrmidons right after they've finished filling out their 1040 and ask them how much they had to pay in taxes this year, their mouths will open and they will promptly utter that one phrase that makes thrills the political mind; that one phrase that is an aural tattoo of abject stupidity: 'I didn't have to pay anything. I'm getting some back.'"
