Official Payments

By -

A random thought popped into my head as my mind was wandering during a school meeting. It has to do with the organization Official Payments Corp., which lets people pay their taxes with their credit card. So let me get this straight:

  1. A person who cannot afford their taxes………
  2. Can borrow money they don't have at interest rates they can't afford……….
  3. To give money to a government that is by any measure insolvent…………
  4. To pay for the printing presses to manufacture money……….
  5. To send as multi-million dollar bonuses……….
  6. To individuals who don't need the money…………
  7. Who also enjoy a special 15% tax rate that the person from step (1) does not get to use.

Do I have that right? OK, good. Just want to make sure.
