Smart Spending: Free treats and more for taxpayers

[Jazzy]

NEW YORK (AP) -- Few truths are more universal: No one likes to pay taxes, and everyone loves to get things for free.



Restaurants and other retailers are offering freebies to reduce people's angst over their income taxes -- which must be postmarked or e-filed by Thursday.



From cupcakes and pancakes to dinners and coffee, the offers are meant to help people feel better as they help companies drum up business. No paperwork or proof is required for most of the offers.

Cool. Wish'd they do something like that over here...

Least they can do with they way our taxes are over here Dragon!

It's our government, Jazzy. They always do the least they can do.

That's a bit sad.

Ain't that the truth Smooth. The US spends billions of dollars to help other countries while people right here are suffering

My school tax alone went up 35% and I have no children in school. I don't mind paying for other peoples children to get a decent education BUT give me a break. Seniors around here are being forced to sell homes that they have lived in over 50 years because they cannot afford the taxes. Sad when it comes down to Seniors having to choose to not take their meds or eat a decent meal in order to pay taxes. US is the land of tax and what do we get for it?
