  "textContent": "In only a handful of years, four Liverpudlian scruffs clawed their way from obscurity to unprecedented worldwide celebrity.\nYeah, yeah, yeah.\nAlready making a mint from \"Money\" and other hits, by 1965 they were MBEs, and suddenly discovered class solidarity -- with the rest of the singlet-clad bathers in their grottos of ducats. To be fair, a 97% marginal rate does make it hard for a lad to break into the ranks of true generational wealth.\nSo in 1966, George Harrison and his newly-minted toffs released the anti-government protest shriek of the upper class, and even now, we Americans share their pain in this our momen of reckoning with ... the Tax Man.\n\n\n**The Beast in Black** first complained \"I tried to get my W2 (for our non-Murican friends, that's the statement from your employer showing how much they paid you and how much tax they deducted) from ADP, and apparently their programmers did a number (two) on the form. TRWTF is that the damn form actually works if I add the slash separators to the date components.\"\n\n> And again he moaned \"Frankly, I'm a little too scared by this WTF to be snarky; I'd expect a Tax Accounting firm - H&R Block in this case - to not have such basic accounting WTFs. Perhaps they should change their name to H&R Blockhead...?\"\n\n> **Adam R.** remarked \"It's tax season again. I hope their tax return backend is better than their JavaScript frontend that set the tooltip on this image to [object Object].\"\n\n> Frustrated **Dustin S.** is _trying_ to comply: \"I logged into my credit union to download the tax documents for my account, but when I clicked on the link, this is what I got. Maybe doing taxes by invoice in the U.S. now?\"\n\n> And looking to the future, the tax man cometh inevitably for **Michael R.** , though not today. \"In green: I want to enter a discount for the items I'm selling. The error says:\"Invalid discount amount. Please enter a discount of less than €0.00 (packaging costs + taxes).\". Yes, I have also tried to enter -7,41 without any luck. In blue: It says:\"Total amount approx.\". Maybe one of the ebay lawyers figured out they are using float data types and wants to cover their bottoms against the rounding errors?\"\n\n> [Advertisement] **Plan Your .NET 9 Migration with Confidence**\nYour journey to .NET 9 is more than just one decision.Avoid migration migraines with the advice in this free guide. **Download Free Guide Now!**",
