I saw in some news program or other that there was a round-table discussion about the financial reporting and how the SEC could improve it. From the small ammount I heard I concluded that it cannot be fixed or improved upon without making it much worse and adding more unintentional tax loopholes for the crooks! Companies should report only a few items to stockholders: how much money was made, how much was lost, how many heads will be lopped off as a result of the money loss, how much money do you have now. I know, it's much too simplistic but it would be better reading that list than trying to decipher one of those slick annual reports that are pumped out and it would save money for the company too!

Members of Congress who argue that we cannot afford tax simplification need to be reminded that a free, civil and prosperous society will not exist where tax collection is deemed more important than the rule of law. Bears repeating.

Unfortunately, talk about abolishing the income tax only comes up around this time of year.
After April 15th, the sheeple will return to normal working their butts off to pay the feds.
