Tax Day (moved to Monday this year [tomorrow] because of the DC holiday this past Friday)!
AND ... the convenience of being able to PAY those taxes at your local 7-11!
Yes indeedy, the place to find a slurpee and assorted Venezuelan pastries (at least that's what MY local ones have) is ALSO the place where you can pay Uncle Sam what you owe him. Of course, since Japan owns 70% of the company, it's unclear whether any portion of your payment is actually going overseas. But hey, a good bit of what you pay leaves the country anyway, so what does it matter, right?
[NOTE: Wrong. The percentage for foreign aid (with military included) was about 1.4% Many people assume that number to be a much higher percentage.]
As an additional public service ... here are a few other 2016 tax day freebies and specials to make the pain of paying tax more manageable ...
PAY UP (AT THE HOME OF THE SLURPEE)!:
