Tax: Yes, it is entertaining.

TV sitcoms have always been a good way to unwind for me. Funny how shows can take such serious, complex topics and make them, well - funny. Case in point, a few programs that explore the world of tax and give us a laugh.

Parks and Recreation  Episode: Soda Tax (2012) Leslie declares that her first move as city councilwoman is to propose a tax on those giant sugary sodas in hopes of reducing diabetes in Pawnee. With this new tax, all local restaurants can get healthier: from Paunch Burger, to Big and Wide, to The Fat Sack, and even Colonel Plump's Slop Trough (formerly Sue's Salads).  Via NBC.com

And comes away with such memorable quotes as:
Leslie: Well, Paunch Burger just recently came out with a new 128-ounce option. Most people call it a gallon, but they call it the regular. Then, there is a horrifying 512-ounce version that they call child size. How is this a child-sized soda?
Kathryn Pinewood: Well, it's roughly the size of a two-year old child, if the child were liquefied. It's a real bargain at $1.59.

Townsperson 2: If we put a tax on soda, I mean, what's next? Income?
Leslie: Sir, you don't pay your income tax?
Townsperson 2: Whether or not I pay income tax is none of the government's business.
Leslie: Well, no, actually it is.
Townsperson 2: Well, you don't know my name or what I look like, so good luck finding me.

The Jack Benny Show - Episode:The Income Tax Show (1964) Jack is visited by two IRS Agents played by Harold Gould as Mr. Hunter, and Bill Quinn as Mr. Will, seeking to help Jack take full advantage of his allowable deductions. They wonder how, on an income of $375,000, his tax deduction for entertainment was less then $20 for the year. Noting a deduction of only $3.90 for a dinner for four, Jack refers the Agents to his dinner companions, Jimmy and Gloria Stewart, to substantiate his expenditure for their meal together. Being the frugal man he is noted for, the entire story is played out as Jimmy and Gloria recount the evening, and how Jack ended up sticking Jimmy with the bill for the dinner so that Jimmy would "have the benefit of the deduction" of over $46 for his own. But if Jimmy paid the bill, what was the $3.90 Jack deducted? That was for having his suit cleaned after Gloria Stewart dumped the salad bowl on his head. SOURCE: IMdb.com
