G’day, I’m Dr. Friday, president of Dr. Friday’s Tax and Financial Firm. To get more info, go to www.drfriday.com. This is a one-minute moment.

Guess what? The IRS just passed the law saying no more taxes. That’s right. We’re not paying taxes anymore. Ha, April Fool’s.

For one, the IRS does not pass laws. It’s Congress and the Senate, people. But that being said, we will be paying taxes. We’ll pay taxes actually after we’re dead, so think about that.
