CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY APRIL 15, 2026
THERE ARE MANY DATES ON THE CALENDAR WE AMERICANS CELEBRATE ABD ENJOY. THERE IS DECEMBER 25TH AND JANUARY 1ST. MEMORIAL DAY IN MAY. VALENTINE’S DAY AND MOTHERS AND FATHERS DAY. VETERANS DAY. MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR. DAY AND SOME OTHERS.
THE ONE DATE WE HATE IS APRIL 15 – INCOME TAX DAY. FOR MANY OF US A LARGE PERCENTAGE OF THE MONEY WE WORK HARD TO EARN GETS TURNED OVER TO THE FEDERAL, STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS. MUCH OF IT IS WASTED AND SOME OF IT IS USED FOR FRAUDULENT ACTIVITIES AS HAS RECENTLY BEEN DISCOVERED IN MINNESOTA AND CALIFORNIA AND LIKELY OTHER STATES.
CONGRESS MISSPENDS SO MUCH OF OUR MONEY, BECAUSE IT ISN’T THEIR MONEY. WE ARE HEADED FOR A $40 TRILLION DEBT WITH INTEREST ON THE DEBT $1 TRILLION A YEAR.
CONGRESS HAS DONE THIS TO US. THE TAX FORMS ARE SO COMPLICATED – AND SO ARE THE INSTRUCTIONS – THAT MANY PEOPLE HAVE TO HIRE TAX PREPARERES TO DO THE WORK FOR THEM.
THE INCOME TAX WAS A TERRIBLE AMENDMENT TO THE CONSTITUTION. IT WAS PASSED MORE THAN 100 YEARS AGO, LARGELY TO PAY FOR OUR ROLE IN WORLD WAR I. I’D WISH YOU A HAPPY TAX DAY, EXCEPT THERE IS NOTHING HAPPY ABOUT IT. CAL THOMAS.
