This is why it's a mistake to fetishize the "man on the street" before due diligence.

Joe Plumber apparently is not a plumber, and there's a lien on his property for back taxes.

Lest I forget the cruelest part of the marriage penalty for us: we were married on November 3rd, but the IRS considers that being married for the entire tax year, even though we couldn't enjoy any of the legal benefits of marriage for 5/6 of the year.

Moral of the story: get married in January. The weather may be lousy, but at least then you get your money's worth.

We were married in November too. Same sad story.

Moral of the story: get married in January.

And have a baby in December.

See, I followed proper WASP protocol and saved my parents all that money! As did Benjamin and Tesse...we'll make WASPs of you yet!

Me too! Though I don't remember if they had income tax yet when I was born. :)

Seth and I got married in November as well (and we did the payment plan thing with the IRS also) but we are having a baby in November so I guess we win on that one.
