BAGHDAD, IRAQ (Just Laugh) – As the American government celebrated the end of the 2006 tax season as the deadline for 2006 income tax returns passed yesterday, focus now turns overseas as the newly reformed Iraqi government prepares to impose its own taxation system across the country, as advised by top U.S. officials.
“If our American friends have taught us but one thing,” explained Iraqi President Jalal Talabani, “it is that government must be supported by its people, which is why we look to create income taxes in Iraq for next year.”
The President continued on to explain the new system’s impact on his people, “Say, for example, you normally throw ten rocks an hour at the infidels. Now we’re not asking for all your rocks, but instead of throwing ten rocks, you throw seven rocks instead and give the other three to me. That way I have some rocks to build better government with – good for all of us!”
When asked to comment on the introduction of taxation in Iraq, President Bush happily explained, “I think this is going to be a really good thing for Jalal and his people. I mean, before he had even finished his speech, those Iraqis started throwing rocks like you wouldn’t believe – it was really invigorating to see that kind of patriotism, to see a group that already wanted to start giving their share to build a better country. It’s great!”
The new 3 Rock Income Tax System is set to collect annually on or around the 15th of April, just as the American system currently operates, with all appropriate penalties applying to those who do not submit their rocks to their local tax office by the annual deadline.
