Tax T-shirts? Do the math.
Here at CafePress, it’s a given that you can find T-shirts on any subject imaginable (and several thousand topics that you can’t begin to imagine).
But as new state tax laws now go into effect in California (and taxes continue to rise around the country), it’s getting harder-and-harder to find T-shirt designs that give a thumbs-up to our tax system.
Unless of course you’re a tax preparer or work for the IRS. Then you give two BIG thumbs-up.
It’s not that people seem to have a good solution for our current tax woes. But at least here in the CafePress community (and this is backed-up by counting the available inventory of tax-themed designs on our gear), we have to conclude that people are … well, feeling taxed about the situation.
The fact that “Tax can be taxing” in one of the few things that people agree about worldwide.
The four best things about tax:
1. If you are paying some then at least you have a job, or…
2. You are blessed to have enough money to pay for something that includes added tax, and…
3. Usually, the bigger the tax bill the higher was the pay rise you have received…
But, best of all…
4. If you believe in miracles let the tax collector know your just waiting to catch a big enough fish with a large enough coin in its mouth to settle your tax bill.
