Talking Tax Reform
Tax season was recently upon us once again, and with it came widespread calls for reform, including simpler forms and a more streamlined filing process. What do you think about making tax-filing less complicated?
Caroline Reece,
Waitress
"With e-filing, the government's seizure of nearly half my assets was quicker and easier than ever this year."
Ed Howard,
Systems Analyst
"I agree that there is a major need for Rax reform. They routinely fail to maintain a well-stocked salad bar, and the waitstaff is quite rude."
Ubit Batangpang,
Shoe-Factory Worker
"Technically, I work for the U.S., but as an Indonesian shoe-factory worker, I'm lucky enough not to have to pay taxes."
Gordon Biasucci,
Custodian
"Taxes?"
Nelson Childs,
Chiropractor
"For all the taxes I pay, I should at least be allowed to use the roads. What? Really? Hot damn!"
Liz Dryden,
Teacher
"I pay almost 40 percent of my total income in taxes, but at least it pays for a top-notch educational system, responsible community policing and comprehensive health care. Of course, I'm Canadian."
