I'm not going to lie.
That kind of scared me just a bit.
And i didn't get the grasp of the word protracted.
That guy was creepy.

The IRS is a joke. The Internal Revenue Service is an operation that is unconstitutional and the founders wouldn't stand for it (revolution). First of all, the IRS is not part of the U.S. Treasury, so it is not a lawful organization, and so it has no right to tax us. Secondly, there is no actual act or anything that created this institution, so where is its credibility??? Income tax is an illegal operation, and I'm 100% for getting rid of it.

These are always fairly amusing. I do like his explanation of taxes, it seems pretty right on.

And of course, like I mentioned over his last video, I appreciate how he doesn't idolize one groups ideas, and bash the other.

What a good word for the week. "Protracted" is how I feel about news coverage concerning the Pope's visit. Anyway, on to Uncle Jay. He hit on a couple of things this week that were pretty interesting. Tiger Woods lost the Master's... that sucked.

The other thing that I thought was very interesting was the note about flying. This weekend I lost two flights and was forced into 22 hours of bus rides. What's the deal with the airlines? Do we not have enough technology to compensate for a few grounded flights. Now I know in the case of American Airlines it was like 800 or 900 a day but on a normal day... what's the deal?

Wow,
That was hilarious,
Sad thing is most full grown American adults wouldn't understand the news without that lovely breakdown.
"And maybe that's why the government chose April 15, because it's so far away from election day!"
!


Loved it

I like the video of uncle jay it was really funny and cool. Uncle Jay really explains a lot of wat the IRS does and why people do there taxes on April 15. It explains why my parents have to there taxes. April 15 is evil and not a good but accept for the IRS they are mean. This comment is for last week sorry.

okay this video would have been a whole lot better if that guy did not have such an annoying voice. The pope part was the funniest. but other than part being the funniest the rest of it sucked.
