Holy crap! It's April! Taxes are due! Even wizened, tough old cranks in the curmudgeon fraternity quail at this time of year as do people all across this great nation.
From what I know of history, there was a time when people actually did their own taxes. Of course, politics intervened and screwed things up so mightily that it is a rare person today who can manage such a Herculean task. Rather, we have "people" do it for us. Everyone I know has people doing it for them, and these are normal wage-earners, not trust-fund babies, Mafiosi, or hedge fund managers hiding income overseas.
So off to our tax preparer we went. He's been doing it for us for 30 years, so we like to tell ourselves he knows what he's doing. I shouldn't be worried that in addition to tax books and legal-looking books, he has Reno 911 and Star Trek paperbacks in his office bookcase, should I?
