I know how people are about that. And when they do their taxes and get a refund? They think it's fucking Christmas.
They don't even think about the fact that the govt. over-taxed them and now is FINALLY giving them their own money back (and not paying any interest on the "loan").
Trust me, if people had to actually do what I do...and write a big check to the govt. every 3 months (quarterly), then you would see a lot of politicians getting voted out of office in the next election.

I guess I have to disagree. Like you I write those checks and don't like it. I also know several people who are self-employed and have to pay taxes quarterly and write those checks. Of those I keep in contact with regularly I can say without fail that every single one of them bitches and complains about writing the checks and most of them don't even vote. When I ask them why they say it doesn't matter.
One of them wildly complains about Obama giving all his money to people scamming the welfare system. I asked why he didn't vote against Obama in the last election and he said it wouldn't have mattered.
I think all it would cause is more debt and more complaining, but not much more action.
