The Tax Man Cometh

I finally finished my taxes tonight. After factoring in my gambling and gambling related affiliate earnings I think the amount of money I now owe Uncle Sam is what is generally referred to as a crapload. On the one hand that means I had quite a good year last year. On the other hand I don't like writing out checks with that many digits. It makes me rather sad in the pants.

This year, I'll be lucky to earn as much I just paid in taxes for last year which doesn't exactly make me happy. We always complain about how much money the government wastes, someone needs to add up all the potential lost tax revenue that the government will miss next year by clamping down on online poker. Bah.
