In closing, I am not sitting in a glass house preaching as I wait for my refund check to show up. Turns out we owe 2 grand this year, shit.
* an amusing footnote to tax fun is that last year the IRS reported something like 50 million forms were prepared with Turbotax. Problem was, Turbotax only reported sales of about 15 million. Long story short: Yes, you may borrow my Turbotax.

On the other hand, the average taxpayer overpays, missing available credits due to oversight or ignorance, sloppy bookkeeping, etc.
People might be more inclined to pay their taxes with less cheating if a) the percentage of their incomes devoted to taxes was less, and, b) they believed more in the programs being funded by their tax dollars.
As it stands, both right and left have plenty of programs to gripe about and to wish their money wasn't supporting.

All I can say, as tax time cometh is: "Thank God for alimony!" While my very well kept ex-wife, thank you, has to worry about the tax bills for her monthly largess, I have my one day (April 15th) to lie to myself and say "I am getting the last laugh."
At least, I get at least one day a year.
Cheers,
Ron
