Simplicity may be costly

The Spokesman-Review

Obama is now saying, with firm confidence, that he will make tax filing easier for all Americans. It’s his confidence in saying this that worries me. Does this mean that in the not-so-distant future, he is going to tell us, “I’m taking all of your earnings and giving you whatever allowance I deem you need, thereby eliminating taxation and paperwork”?
