If my hunch is right, tax reforms are going to dominate the first decade of the 21st century. Around the world, and throughout the ages, especially at the commencements of centuries, taxation has had enormous influence on the structuring of society and the status of the individual within society. P. J. O'Rourke once noted, 'every government is a parliament of whores. The trouble is, in a democracy, the whores are us.'
As we go through the debate let us remember that the goal of democracy should be to raise the floor, not to worry about the ceiling. The democrat should concern himself with the wealth of the rich only so far as that wealth impoverishes others. Beyond that, the wealth of the rich, like the fitness of the Queensland swimmer, the intellect of the wise, the skill of the juggler, or the humor of the comic, becomes merely a goal that others can achieve.

According to this press release from the Department of the Treasury, today the IRS will announce details about a new program (IRS Free File) that facilitates the free e-filing of tax forms by most Americans. The home page for Free File is here.
The IRS entered into a agreement with a consortium of tax software companies, called the Free File Alliance, to ’provide free tax preparation and filing to at least 60 percent of the American taxpayers, or approximately 78 million people.’
