Freedom From Taxes

Posted on DateFriday, April 12, 2013 at 9:09AM

I am fine with paying for the freedom that I so greatly appreciate. I am fine with helping those who are suffering, hungry or homeless with my tax dollars. As scary as it sounds, I am also fine in taking a cut in my Social Security if it keeps the fund healthy for my children and grandchildren.

That being said, I would prefer to break even come tax filing. It irritates me to pay in addition to what the IRS has tapped out of what little I make at working the three jobs that keep my boat afloat. The operative word being "boat". Not a yacht. A simple boat with enough provisions to get by.

This, however, doesn't mean that I will not take full advantage of the free stuff available to all Americans come Monday, April 15th! What kind of true red, white and blue taxpayer would I be if I was not smart enough to keep my eye on the piggy bank.

Check out this information on the sweet and free deals in your neighborhood. Take a look and take advantage.

  • Arby's has free value sized curly fries or a small order of potato cakes with printable coupon
  • Cinnabon has two free Cinnabon Bites on April 15th from 6 - 8 PM
