IRS will look into setting up a free e-filing system
There's no reason the government couldn't just tell me how much money they took each year and give me a chance to contest it if I thought it was wrong.One of my best friends lives in Tokyo and every time I have to think about taxes I get this little pang of jealousy at how sane and un-infested with rent seeking trashcans (intuit etc.) the Japanese system seems.If you need the government to behave against the best interest of the people in order for your industry to exist maybe your industry shouldn't exist.
