Today I was filling out my corporate tax forms for Zeta Centauri, Inc. To my massive chagrin, printed clearly on the first page of the tax instruction booklet was:

“WITH GOD ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE”

My first reaction was, “What the _FUCK_ is going on here?” I seriously flipped out. I mean WTF!?!?!? How are imaginary friends and taxes related?

So, I did a little bit of investigating. Apparently this is something that slipped under my radar back in 2001:

So, I had to at least write this to the Ohio Department of Taxation via their “contact us” page:

‘As a non-religious corporation, we question the validity of printing
“With god all things are possible” on the Ohio Corporation Franchise Tax
Report Instructions booklet. This would make sense on a church tax form
booklet, but it has no place on corporate tax booklets. It makes us
question whether, not having this “god”, it is actually possible to
complete form 1120.’

…

I mean, seriously, this is the damned 21st century. It’s not like electricity hasn’t been invented yet and people are still living in caves… or so I thought.

This is the sort of thing that leads people to make love to patio furniture.
