Flat taxes

My dad and I finally found an economic policy we agree on: flat taxes. I know, as a bleeding heart I should be concerned that the poor would be taxed unfairly but I think the benefit of not having to hire a CPA would far out weigh the potential problems.

I almost bought Turbo Tax today. My cheap self hates to pay an accountant for checking little boxes and filling in the right numbers. I should be able to do this, me thinks. I called my mother-in-law for the reality check and she made me see that if I don't pay the $600 my CPA charges I will probably spend several days attempting to fill out the forms myself, and quite possibly, incorrectly. Just getting the stuff ready for the accountant is a burden enough for me.

Here's to flat taxes -- and a break to the middle class, for once.
