So this week in the little world of Weserville, we learned about taxes. Taxes are the bane of most people's existence and livelihood, or so I've been told. We found out that Al Capone, you know, the gangster, didn't go to jail for his crimes, he went to jail for not paying his taxes. I can imagine the conversation in jail went something like this:
(Guy 1, Guy 2, and Guy 3 wait patiently in the Alcatraz cell as their new inmate, Al Capone is dropped off. The three guys don't know who he is and so Guy 1 begins. . .)
Guy 1: So who are you and what are you in for?
Capone: My name is Al Capone and I am in here because I-
Guy 1: Wait don't tell me, you killed someone?
Capone: Yes but I-
Guy 2: You were caught with moonshine?
Capone (irritated now): Yes but I-
Guy 3: You ran a gang and ruled the streets with an iron fist?
Capone (angrily): Yes, but that's NOT why I'm here!
Guy 1: It's not, than why are you here?
Capone (sighs): I didn't pay my taxes.
(Guy 1, Guy 2, and Guy 3 all erupt into laughter)
All in all, this taxes thing is really a way for the government to pay for everything it needs done. We may need to know about this stuff if Weserville ever has to pay for a pointless project, like Walmart perhaps?
