Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for March 01, 2025

Pete only has three months to make a living.

Very taxing.

That must be a descendent of ‘Moustache Pete,’ who finger-twirled his moustace as he defrauded widows and orphans.

Never go with the Tax Preparer who begins with the question, “How big do you want your refund to be this year?”

Republican accounting – Cut 835 billionaires taxes by 4 Trillion dollars over 10 years and pay for it by gutting Medicaid on which over 72.1 million Americans rely including 40% of children and 60% of nursing home residents.

But MAGAts aren’t shizzit eating dumb @@@@@……

The estate of Neville Chamberlain is celebrating today. The Reality Show Con Artist is now history’s all time appeaser.

“But you see Mr. Anchovy, your report here says that you are an extremely dull person. Our experts describe you as an appallingly dull fellow, unimaginative, timid, lacking in initiative, spineless, easily dominated, no sense of humor, tedious company and irrepressibly drab and awful. Now whereas in most professions these would be considerable drawbacks, in accountancy they are a positive boon.” – From Monty Python’s Accountant Sketch

I have actually seen a Financial advisor and tax preparer that had its office in the old office attached to a carwash. Are they all self indulgent and self delusional?

Anybody but this chiseler!

Wife is extremely good with figures and tax stuff. One year she thought of using a tax preparer. Took fully completed forms, all parameters squared up and went to office. He spend 30 minutes verifying the info, said it was good, never checked a figure on his computer. Charged $800, which was about 1/3 of our refund.

I wanted to congratulate him on his speed and dexterity in earning that amount for that little work. Wife wouldn’t let me. She told him, ‘Thank you. I’ll be sure to correct that little mistake I made on page 3’. He turned red and grabbed a pencil to check. She took the papers out of his hands, and we walked out. Think he passed us on his way to the restroom.

I just shared this comic w/ my sister, who is a CPA

One of our consumer advocates on the radio who has lots of businesses says his tax return approaches 200 pages. My standard deduction one is one sheet if I print on both sides.
