David Larsen for Congress

Yesterday David called a pro-life voter who e-mailed him earlier in the day to express her support. In the course of the conversation she alluded to her own tax tyranny horror story and then detailed her situation in a Facebook instant message later in the day.

David -- thank you for taking the time to address my concerns.

Forgive me for mentioning my tax ills -- I only wanted to say that we were surprised by additional taxes levied against my husband's moonlighting position at [redacted]. The amount came as an unpleasant surprise that he paid up completely -- in monthly installments with exorbitant interest throughout. This year is no different, but we took a loan to pay the amount in full -- to pay up over 1 year without the horrific interest charged by the federal government. Needless to say, [my husband] has given up his moonlighting position as it only incurred this awful tax balance and we no longer needed to cover our daughter's education.

How stupid of the government -- had they charged a lesser tax against our earnings they would have been able to collect more from us in the coming year but perhaps not in the draconian amount they demand now.

Why am I sharing this with you? You seem to know how it is for families like us.
