"Tax fun?"

How can those two words go together? Taxes can be fun, though- you just have to be in the right frame of mind. To get there, forget about your worries for a moment and imagine if you had to cough up the cash for the Federal budget. Of course, you can change it if you don't like it.

Just remember if you do change the budget, you might have to tweak the tax law a bit so you don't run out of cash- you wouldn't want Washington D.C. to go broke, forcing them to stay home, now would you? Would you???

You might have an easier time of it if you had played financial games as a youngster. The National Debt was a lot smaller back then. If you'd like to be completely scared out of your mind, go here.

Too bad you didn't drop out of Harvard like Bill Gates. Of course, Bill Gates is lucky he wasn't a multi-billionare in 1945, when the government's highest tax rate was a mind-numbing 91%. See the chart to see how the highest tax bracket has gone up and down over the years.
