I just suffered a $3,000+ loss by writing a check to the IRS this morning. Ugghhh.
Write to your congressman, they started this BS
Origin
The roots of IRS go back to the Civil War when President Lincoln and Congress, in 1862, created the position of commissioner of Internal Revenue and enacted an income tax to pay war expenses. The income tax was repealed 10 years later. Congress revived the income tax in 1894, but the Supreme Court ruled it unconstitutional the following year.
16th Amendment
In 1913, Wyoming ratified the 16th Amendment, providing the three-quarter majority of states necessary to amend the Constitution. The 16th Amendment gave Congress the authority to enact an income tax. That same year, the first Form 1040 appeared after Congress levied a 1 percent tax on net personal incomes above $3,000 with a 6 percent surtax on incomes of more than $500,000.
In 1918, during World War I, the top rate of the income tax rose to 77 percent to help finance the war effort. It dropped sharply in the post-war years, down to 24 percent in 1929, and rose again during the Depression. During World War II, Congress introduced payroll withholding and quarterly tax payments.

Hmmm... How'd they get there?
We don't even know if this story is true. For all we know the author is Expedia busting on their competitor. They even said it wasn't a first-person account - they are telling this story on behalf of "a friend".

It's on the Internet...it must be true.
Even if the story is true, the girl had plenty of time while saving to get her paperwork in order. Why do all the stupid people want to blame society (or in this case some random business) for their ineptness?
Just one more reason I don't have a FB account. Too many gullible friends just waiting to spam me with crap like this.

People do that with my husband when he tells them he doesn't have a cell phone.
He doesn't have a cell phone.
My folks don't have an ATM card. That boggled my mind.
