Taxes and you: No chance of success

In an evil genius move, the federal government has made doing your taxes a no win proposition.

Add the cost of taxes on your income, time, and stress level and its a frightening prospect come each April.

clipped from hotair.com Video: The compliance costs of the tax code As Americans rush to tax accountants and preparation firms this week to finalize their tax returns, it’s a good time to consider the costs of compliance.

What are these costs?  Consider the 7.6 billion man-hours needed for federal tax compliance, which equates to 3.8 million full-time jobs.  Tax compliance is one of the largest industries in the US. What has this administration done to correct this?  They will add thousands of more IRS employees to do to health care what they’ve already done to tax compliance.
