“The American people deserve a 'rebate' for the wasteful costs imposed on them by our broken tax system. The dollar amount exceeds the combined revenue of Sears, Walt Disney, Microsoft, Rite Aid, and McDonald's, while the yearly paperwork volume is staggering: over 1.3 billion information items and 8 billion pages of forms and instructions. The hours expended annually in this ritual is equivalent to the labor of over 2.5 million people. Don't we all have more productive things to do with our time?”
[ John Berthoud]
