Trying to figure tax to the penny.
From the very beginning,
My clueless head was spinning.

Spending My Income Tax RefundSpending My Income Tax Refund
By Elton Camp
For one like me, who to save lacks the thrift,
An annual income tax refund seems like a gift
In other years, there’s been no reason why
That something a bit special I couldn’t buy
An otherwise unaffordable gift for my wife
Or a...

Taxable IncomeThe hoopla of the Holiday Season has now come and gone.
Cash in the bank to pay for that spree is nigh overdrawn!
Just when I thought I was free of serious financial strain,
A packet arrived from the IRS hintin' that its tax time again!
I'll bet the...

The Income Tax AuditThe Income Tax Audit
By Elton Camp

But found that he should’ve been more discreet
When a neighbor notified the Internal Revenue,
The agency decided that an audit they would do
The examiner soon found Perry lived like a prince
His lifestyle...

Filing income tax online is the way to do
Making a return manually I’ve always hated
But doing it online I felt a little intimidated
Complicated situations still need to see a CPA

Gross IncomeGross Income
80% of the entire global wealth
Is owned by 15% of the global population
Never before in the annals of human history
Has so much been owed
To so many
By so few
The economy is collapsing
All around us
People that we see
On the streets and suffering
The system setting...

Better Household Income??
Over there in the rural countryside where I'm at currently....
Gravel road, water and electrical woes are challenges daily....
Hardly any economic activities that bring in cash money..
Barring the staff in the usual government machinery...
And those in some private enterprises and companies...
The village folks are really...

Tax SeasonIncome tax season
Is no reason
For utter despair
Pulling your hair
Shedding a tear
Out of fear
You’ll be broke --

Ubi, What If I'M Missing the Necessary Solve It, Opportunity For Statues Long VersionOn this UBI's Day, May 1st, to observe the greatest socioeconomic concept ever conceived.
UBI, what if I'm missing the necessary.
Solve it, opportunity for statues.
Long version
This statue down there,
across me, don't know
what hunger is
and what's to be needy.
No needy left a statue,
at the most...

The Rise In PricesThe rise in prices
Price increase becomes
Price adjustment
But the rise is something different
Unlike the tide
It only rises
And never falls
It's seasonal
Just like the durian
Every year at least once
With the Financial Report
And Unlike the durian it seldom falls
If it doesn't rise
The piece of cake is smaller
Less...

Ubi, Never Let Needy Hungry On the Face of EarthLike a statue I want to be,
never have needs,
or stems I want to grow,
heavy with grains and fruits,
a self sustained being,
let us needy hungry not be.
Since the start of time
your destiny was shaped
by your cell's needs,
a petty survival,
worshiping for this,
eating...
