California And My Taxes

Well I received my tax return from the State this past Wednesday. I went to my tax lady on super Bowl Sunday. I figured what the heck, my Dolphins were at home on the couch, so I would not be missing much. After getting the bad news that this year will be the last I will receive any of my money, due to the fact I am selling my house, I figured the state would take its sweet time and suck up as much interest as possible. I was told it would be at least a minimum of 14 working days: Try 3 days!

I had to stop and ask myself why this happened so fast. I think it is an attempt to boost Cali’s economy. I know I helped it a bit. Grocery shopping, gas in the truck, and a couple of breakfasts. So why don’t politicians just cut themselves out of the loop? Ah, that would be too logical and it would help some of the taxpayers realize that our politicians are really not needed. Yup, we elect people to fix things that were broken by them. Talk about job security. 🙂
