I read a article once several years ago where a magazine contacted the |
| 11 |
IRS and gave the same set of facts and asked the same question of over a |
| 12 |
dozen different IRS help agents. You know, the ones that answer the |
| 13 |
phone to help you. Given the same facts and the same question, they got |
| 14 |
several different answers. It seems even the people at the IRS can't |
| 15 |
understand it either. |

I've also read that some lawyers know the more common things but have to |
| 18 |
look up some things and even then, the answer may not be clear. One law |
| 19 |
says one thing, some other law says something else. Or worse yet, the |
| 20 |
law isn't clear at all. |

This is one reason I think a flat tax or something should be |
| 23 |
considered. As it is, who really understands the tax code? I read once |
| 24 |
how much paper it takes to print it all out but can't recall how many it |
| 25 |
was. Just remember it was a lot and that it was way to many. Even half |
| 26 |
would be to much. |

Personally, maybe moving to a different state would help, maybe not. |

It's not like any Govt can be *really* trusted nowadays anyway, right? |

Moving to another country may fix one thing and create yet another. |
