Too funny, Irisheyes!
Ya' know, kiting just might land you a cushy job in Obamaland. I can see you with a bright future with the Treasury or Foreign Trade divisions.
Keep up the good work!
(In case it wasn't obvious -- I am being wholly facetious.) (Or am I?) (snicker, snicker)

I have to tell you, Ladyluna, I think that check kiting is a nonpartisan political art and I expect to be set to go in any administration if I can get it pat without getting arrested. It's the learning that's tricky. Once you turn political pro, there is absolutely no trouble with the law. lol

The first job requirement of a politician is that you have to be able to look people in the eyes and lie to them.

Well the American voters were stupid enough to elect Obama for president (I voted against him)...so they would probably be pretty easy to convince that you are blind...

Well, I'm already ahead of ther competition because not only have I stopped paying my taxes, I'm registered as a lobbyist now. I also plan on printing up a few trillion dollars of worthless paper and am going to call it money. Just for good measure, I'm going to learn some fancy feel-goody catch phrases to utter repeatedly while I fear monger people in to accepting losses of liberty and financial ruin. All of this aught to guarantee me a job in the Obama administration.

Well, I can talk for hours without really saying anything but I'd fail the test because I wouldn't be able to watch people struggling to make ends meet by working two jobs whilst I swanned around in my chauffeur driven car to fancy banquets. Nor could I see money being wasted on pointless enquiries which prove what everyone has known for years whilst the NHS, education and justice systems run short of basic resources. I couldn't be a part of digging up the dirt on the opposition and I dont do brown-nosing. Well, I guess that's my political career in shreds before it even began!

Don't you know there's a double standard in Washington? It doesn't matter what laws the Democrats break. They're above all that. Only Republicans most pay for their infractions.

Hello Laglen,
Yes, it would seem that tax evasion is a required qualification for consideration in this administration. As such, I am wholly unqualified for placement. You see, I have always paid my taxes -- on time. Silly me, I could have had a bright future in the HOPE & CHANGE era, if only I had embraced my inner tax-cheat.
I do not think that stopping payment of taxes NOW will position you for a job in the HOPE & CHANGE administration. It would seem that the tax-cheat mind-set and behavior must be well ingrained for consideration. Sorry -- it seems that you're willing to do too little, too late!

Well crap! I've done lost before that idea even rolled over my brain. I have a very guilty conscience and can't lie w/o being caught. My conscience won't let me cheat either.

Hahaha, good thinking. Unfortunately I think you have to have some friends in the IRS to get away with that.
I don't pay any federal taxes not because I'm a fraud, but because I don't have to yet. They always end up giving me everything withheld from my paycheck back.

Hi laglen:
I had to laugh at this one. Thanks!
By the way, do they have internet access and computers in jail?
