We finally got around to filing our taxes (YES, WE FILED EXTENSIONS, DON’T BE A GIT) and got refunds. Of course, we got far less money back than Darin was expecting (so much for our percentage of the great tax reduction pie), but it was still a nice chunk of change to show up on our doorstep. And I noticed two curious things on the checks:
- On the California state check, the “fund name” is the “Tax Relief and Refund Account.” Isn’t “tax relief” a Republican talking point? Why did California name its fund that?
- The US Treasury check was issued in Austin, Texas. Just in case I was wondering where the money had gone.
