Rizzo Ammo Tax™ Evasion that is...

As a long time reader and a never time posterer….      I figure it’s about time I come out from under the rock and say howdy.

A little about me

  • Born and raised in Wickenburg (legit Burger with extra dead horse).

  • Straight out of high school I landed a contracting job in Iraq (*cough* nepotism *cough*).

  • Made stupid sums of money.

  • Met and married an amazing Australian gal & left job.

  • Spent stupid sums of money.

  • Bought a home in Prescott Valley where we lived for 4 years (and loved it…).

  • Learned a few important lessons about financial hindsight (*hint* it’s 20/20).

  • Sized an opportunity in 2011 and move to Australia for lower priced education for both me and the Mrs.


Been in OZ for about 3 ½ years, and let’s just say I miss the smell of burnt gun powder and Mexican food (yes in that order).

I appreciate reading (most) everyone’s posts, and the majority of you seem to be good humans, and it’s good humans like you that make me proud to be born where I was born.

Anyway, it's good to finally come out of the proverbial "Arfcommer closet"!

Cheers guys & gals!

Sweet.

I was contracting, and even vacationed in Australia from Afghanistan.  I didn't met my dream girl, though.  Good on ya'.

Where in Oz are you?

Ha ha ha, yeah well technically I didn't meet my dream girl in Australia either, she was in the states when we first met.

We are currently living in the western suburbs of Melbourne just outside the CBD (probably the worst part of OZ if I am honest but we are where we need to be right now :)

As often as we can (and the wallet affords) we travel to the nicer parts (rural & un-populated). Love the Queensland beaches and the southeastern Victoria area, would love to get out to Perth one day... but trips to AZ have a lightly higher priority of course.

You get a chance to try experience the iconic axle grease crossed with molasses (aka Veggiemite) breakfast spread yet?

As a native, you're exempt from the Rizzo ammo tax, so technically, you aren't an evader.

When you left, your departure created a vacuum that sucked in 3 hippies and/or 5 illegals. Thus, you *are* in arrears in your "Keep Arizona Free" payments, so you might as well order a brick of .22 delivered to him.

What's the 'drop bear' season, out there?

How many of Australia's deadly species have tried to kill you, so far? (Snakes, spiders, platypii, etc?) Give count, species, and cost of taxidermy.

This too is what Rizzo wants to know (it's all about the back taxes you know).

Did I miss the Rizzo tax when I moved here?

Oh well, I guess I'll go out to the Vault and roll around in my ammo fort.. a la Scrooge McDuck.

Ha ha ha! I am not sure drop bears care much about seasons, they seem to be in a perpetual state of "drop & eat your face off" all year long.

Know of any good RAT CPA's? (what a suitable acronym)   You see, I have not just been sitting idle over here in the land of OZ, I have been tirelessly preaching the Gosple of John (Wayne) since I landed. There have been a few conversions that could possibly offset the "Hippy/illegal" vortex I've created.

This kind of thing actually hits the news here...  it's not an easy crowd of humans...

Other than the before mentioned drop bears, I haven't had too many close encounters with deadly creatures... A kangaroo once gave me the bird, but I cut him off in traffic so I can't fault him much.

The "coming home" convo has been a hot topic as of late. Since the Mrs. has already finished her bachelor (started a year before me), she is itching to get back home now... I still have a year left on mine, so I have to wait till that's all done before we can talk more realistically.

Should be enough to supply an AZHTF shoot with plenty of rounds for all on the Bears Lob-n-Ader, and 75 rd drums on the krink.

Sweet!!!!

    My calculator exploded when I tried to tally all of it. Plus it's an extra 200% since the OP is a long-time lurker AND a 14-er.

    You didn't miss it, but clearly I did. Plus back taxes and interest and you're looking at . . . . a lot. Better just give me all of it.

    Australian Colloquialism totally caught me off guard... I had no idea why they always asked me to pass the "dead horse"... rhymes with tomato sauce (the way they say it anyway)

    So Sepo's short for Septic Tanks which rhymes with Yank...  my googlefu resulted with Septic Tanks are full of shit so therefor Yanks = Full of Shit..... *MIND BLOWN*

    *Fixed* So as not to desturb the wildlife.
