Things are a little crazy at the office today so my time to ramble is a bit limited, but I didn't want to let today go by without saying something about the tax system in this country.
The fact that this system ever got passed is a testament to the shortsightedness of people.
'Well lets get a tax system that punishes success with harsher punishment for greater success. Even better lets take the money directly out of their paychecks so that they don't even get to have the money in the first place. Then, we'll have them spend hours and weeks of time to get their information together and file paperwork to make sure that we withheld the right amount so that we can give those that overpaid their change, and collect from those that underpaid.'
'To process this mountain of otherwise unnecessary paperwork we'll form a new bureaucracy and give them the power to call any citizen in to defend their tax paperwork with the assumption that they are guilty unless they can provide evidence that they are not; and if they can't then we'll hit them with massive additional fees and penalties.'
Come on ... does anyone think that this sounds like a good idea? Now admittedly it wasn't presented in exactly those words, but they were the effect.
We have GOT to do something about this absurd system of taxation in this country. At the very least the level of taxation needs to be dealt with before the country implodes. We are chasing jobs, and productive people out of this country like mad.
Wake up people and get active ....
