I'm pretty sure everyone understand you're just getting you money back from the previous year. It's just feels like a bonus.

No, roads pave themselves, schools operate on their own and firefighters work for drinking water.

It's not a bonus, and it's an interest free loan to the government, but it sure beats having to pay.

A fool is somebody who gets back a refund that's rightfully his, but complains about it.
