I’m a health care lawyer, so:

Access to health care
Can we guarantee for all
And still reduce costs?

Tax code is complex
Exceptions have exceptions
Ever increasing

KPE-

I had to try just one:

Congress, read my lips.
Refundable credits bad!
Encourage much fraud.

I will have to write down these things during the year so that I am ready for next year’s challenge.

I can’t believe it
I am really doing this
I have reached new heights

If Law School fails me
I can always write haiku
Who cares about tax?

Little IRA,
Put away so long ago;
Should be worth much more.

Such a tiny state,
But Rhode Island taxes big!
Size does not matter.

(Tip of the hat to our off-season info session at Block for this one)
Stimulus credit,
Not if you’re a dependent,
An April surprise.

(This one refers to my property-tax bill, which is based on an assessment done before the crash)
Taxing real estate,
County coffers getting fat,
‘Tho we’re worth much less.

Taxes stay the same,
User fees pick up the slack;
must raise cash somehow.
