Yes, for most taxpayers, tax filing day is behind us. We have filed our returns, we might even have a refund, and we have “promise” to do better next year.

So what did you get for paying taxes? As Americans, we have the right to “fix” the tax code – if we are so inclined. Our taxes help pay for the government operations, they help pay for the services that we use every day. It funds our day-to-day operation of the Federal Government. I may seem like I am waving a US flag here, but without our system of taxation, we could not live in this great country – and have the right to object, protest, crab, and generally be unhappy about paying taxes.

Tax Day is behind us – let’s get on with practicing good money management and appreciate that we live in the greatest county in the world. (And you help create it and support it.) Look for this Web site to be back next year with tips and suggestions on how to make taxes a little less painful and using your refund in the best way possible.
