My cousin works at the IRS. Just recently, she laughingly recounted the story of some poor slob who called her distraught because the tax preparer made some mistakes and now there were penalites and interest that needed to be paid. My cousin told the guy he should have made sure the tax return was accurate, after all he had signed it.

Rush is brave. The IRS has more power than any other government agency. Ask Al Capone.

" My cousin told the guy he should have made sure the tax return was accurate, after all he had signed it. "

One usually goes to a tax preparer because the lawyer scum, infesting government at all levels, have made the tax code so complex for those who may have multiple sources of income, investments, deductions etc. cannot always determine how much they owe.

To tell a person who felt the need to have their taxes prepared that they should have made sure the return was accurate is typical of the out of control government we are under.

I submit that laws have become so complex on so many fronts that ignorance of the law should be an excuse. We know the ruling class won't allow this as they might be held accountable to legislate with some common sense.

An X% Federal Sales tax on everything except food, housing, medical would simplify things immensely and the poor would pay less than the rich simple based upon their lifestyle.

Rush is brave.

For telling me to do something that will likely get me arrested and thrown in prison?

This "advice" is about as brilliant as me advising him to take an oxycontin pill.
