We self-employed have to every quarter guess what we owe and send it in.
Salaried people get skinned every paycheck - “withholding” that hides governments’ multiple, monstrous bites. And tricks people into getting excited about an annual “refund” - which is really just a return of the interest-free loan they involuntarily made to the Leviathan.
But if any of us under pay - our mistake isn’t interest-free. Nor is it penalty-free. For governments, it’s forgiveness for me - not for thee.
Taxes - already obscenely multitudinous and high - have grown exorbitantly upward and outward in the last five years.

The government’s cash drain is historic.
U.S. states took in 6.1 percent more revenue in fiscal 2013 than they did the year before for a record $846.2 billion, according to the Census Bureau.
It was the third consecutive increase, the agency said in a statement today. Revenue rose 4.7 percent from 2011 to 2012, and 7.3 percent from 2010 to 2011.
And that’s just the federal government. Many of the many states are also digging ever-deeper into our wallets.

This moratorium was extended in 2001 and 2004, both times with bipartisan votes in the House and Senate.
Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR) and 16 other Senators introduced S 1431, the "Internet Tax Freedom Forever Act”....
It’s an election year. We the People aren’t too keen on DC’s denizens.
Here’s a potential Kumbayah moment. A way for Congress to help themselves politically - and also avoid another concussive blow to a feeble economy.
Let’s get it together and get it done - now, well before November 1.
