Our Tax Code Needs an Overhaul at Glick Report
Human Events
It’s not that I’m so apathetic, but I have so little faith that this mountain of cards, and sand and spit that the Government has created, will not find a landfill large enough to contain it, once disassembled and discarded. It is so depressing to think of the wealth of talent that is wasted on 60,000 pages of tax code. There are too many people in government, writing stuff … reports never read, or read, but another unreadable report explains the last. I know, I used to write them for FEMA for 2 years as a Hazard Mitigation Specialist after Hurricane Andrew. I wrote a program to assess Cost -Benefit; I defined CRITICALITY, and the theorem was: If you restore something that cannot withstand at least the same force as what destroyed it, then you are creating a greater tragedy in the future … a larger debris field. It’s kind of a DO-NO-HARM kind of thing for the real world … not just for medical doctors. There are so many things that the government does that do harm …, but they are not accountable … because they are no one …. they are everyone. That in itself, does harm.
Alexis: Reasonable people can disagree; does it follow that Unreasonable people can agree? Of course! Everyone’s agreement is that wow that’s great, but what about all the accountants out of work, what about all the IRS agents practicing their stalking and forensic accounting hobbies.. now unsupported; what about all the lawyers who will be missing widows and orphans who are easy cases to win or scare with major jail time (depending on whatever psychotic symptom the lawyer cares to display, advertise or otherwise profit from? And what about the printers, government workers who must edit and file as well as duties to publish manuals on how to use government copiers (Yea, a friend is an attorney for the Labor dept.; she gets about 8 wks off per year and that was the last major job she had) yea what about that? And what, a bout with you an me who either pay some accountant (who sides with the gov’t on any issue for fear of being audited him/herself?) Oh, how will Trouble - I mean Turbo tax - getting off cheap with $50 to $150 for a program and then those fun 50 hrs of spare time to answer all the fun questions -and then there’s that harddrive that crashed and now all my depreciation items are forgotten. Yea, I didn’t want my taxes hacked on my computer, so who froze my harddrive? CIA? Yea and what about all the Psychiatrists, Internist
