A kid rang my doorbell last night. He was all dressed up in a suit and tie.
"Trick or treat!" He announced.
"You're a little late. That was back in October." I replied.
"There is an automatic extension until the end of the year."
I asked him, "Exactly what are you dressed up as? What's this costume?"
"I'm an IRS agent. And this house is valued at over $250,000."
He then took 40% of my candy. He also took 40% of all my canned goods and beverages -- which he said were no longer exempt from Halloween tax. He left without saying thank you.
I went over the fiscal cliff.
