One Reason I Ignore the News

The full story is here.
And I'm sorry, KIDDO, but most of us don't OWN a car at 12. Then again, most of us actually pay our taxes and don't try to avoid them by pulling fuckwitted things like your mothers' OH-SO-SUBTLE attempt at doing so. Not to mention the old "no one ever said I had to pay taxes" defense.
Most of us, actually, find legal and (kind of) moral ways to work around the government that, incidentally, provides most of the reasons you live in one of the best countries in the world.
Maybe, just maybe, your parents should just gracefully admit they lost their little ploy, pay their taxes and move you --- somewhere else --- so the rest of us don't have to be subjected to such idiots on the front page cause I'd personally rather not have any more of MY tax dollars wasted / abused by you and your little family.
Boy, I can't wait till you grow up and believe you don't have to pay taxes either.
I do have a question though - I just can't quite figure out what they were going for by being in the paper - sympathy?

You know, I'm pretty sure Cabot needs a Subaru. Don't you agree? He's got thumbs. Even, probably - more common sense.
(See? See what the news does to me? Makes me snarly and mean.)
Imagine Abigayle Egeland-Northwood's surprise to find out that she owes the Canada Revenue Agency $13,000.
She's never had a job, doesn't have a social insurance number and spends most of her free time playing with her five cats and two dogs. Oh yes, and she's 12 years old.
"I don't think it's fair because I didn't do anything wrong. I don't work and I don't drive. I'm just a kid," the girl said in an interview Friday.
Her parents feel she's being unfairly targeted because of her father's dispute with the Canada Revenue Agency. Nelson Northwood maintains that Parliament has not passed a law requiring Canadian citizens to pay income tax, an argument he lost in court two years ago. He was ordered to turn over records so the Canada Revenue Agency could collect some $700,000 they say is owed.
Last week, the agency went to court again and received an order allowing a bailiff to seize the personal property of the Grade 7 student, up to a value of $13,000.
So on Wednesday, Abbey arrived home to find bailiffs seizing the 1998 Jeep that her mother Karen Egeland transferred to her name in the spring of 2005.
