The lie we have been told:
Taxes are what we pay for civilized society.
-Oliver Wendell Homes, Jr.
We had a wonderful time at the LPMCA’s most recent movie night! Jeff Johnson presented us with the opportunity to discuss one of our least favorite branches of government: the IRS.
As serious and as frustrating as this topic is, we also found a bit of levity as we watched the fictional Harry Johnson declare war on the IRS in the movie titled: Harry’s War. If you missed it, you can find some great links below to some of the things we discussed.
Follow us on Facebook or subscribe to our email list to get details about the next movie night and all our events! It is a great opportunity to discuss the topic of the evening, learn new things and fellowship with friends.
How fast does the government spend our money?
