- Number 4 -- Get involved in the elections: If there's a lot of spending that you're feeling less than enthusiastic about, one of the best ways to solve that problem is to get people into office who share your views. And the best way to do that is to get involved in a campaign. This November citizens (that's you) will have the opportunity to vote on local, state and federal level candidates and issues. From city hall to Washington, DC you can "vote the bums out" and "vote new bums in." You could even consider working on the campaign of a bum or two.

- Number 5 -- Take a break: Frankly, I found that a nice glass of red wine really helped me get through the process of filling out tax forms and I'm sure the IRS will enjoy my alcohol-induced tax calculations. If things get too stressful just try to be thankful that at least you've got some income to pay taxes on, right? There are too many Americans struggling to make ends meet (especially in this economic climate). So sit back, relax and enjoy the beverage of your choice, and just think that beverage might not have made it to your glass without some sort of taxpayer investment!
