Taxes: Freefile

[Baker]

If you made less than $52K in 2006, you can file your taxes for free electronically and the online stuff is within a stone throw of being as good as Turbo Tax/Tax Cut and/or any other software.

For anyone who doesn't know about this.

It's nice. I've used TaxSlayer for two years in a row now. Got it from the same place you posted.

BTW, did you know that the IRS is supposed to be a "temporary" thing?

Is supposed to be or was supposed to be?

In a perfect world, there would be a simple national sales tax and no income tax. But in the real world, it is important to have near full employment to keep the crime rate down so that means millions and millions of people need to have otherwise unnecessary jobs because high unemployment = very bad.

I think the United States learned this tactic from Japan. Japan started a full-employment style system in the 1950's (job welfare) and the USA in the 1960's did the opposite (stay at home welfare) and Japan ended up booming and the USA spent 3 decades regretting that severely.

I guess it should be was. When the tax man strode into most American lives after the bombing of Pearl Harbor. To raise a war chest, income taxes - once reserved for the rich - were extended to all Americans for the first time in history. The expanded tax was supposed to be temporary, ending with the war, and we all know that Government simply cannot survive without it.
