No EZ Fix For The IRS
meltoast writes "Apparently the IRS is storing all of the taxpaying histories of 227 million individuals and corporations in a system that still runs code written in 1962. CIO Magazine is running a story on the IRS's nearly failed $8 billion modernization attempt that includes missed deadlines, cost overruns of over $200 million and four CIO's in seven years."
Explain to me, please, how it is unfair to pay for services that you use.
Perhaps a flat tax would actually encourage those people to work harder and actually be rewarded for it.
It is not the job of the government to perform charity. That's the responsibility of individuals.
Just cuz you ain't paranoid, doesn't mean they're not after you.
Unless caught breaking the law or ignoring the many warnings from your supervisor about "attendance problems," it is impossible to get yourself fired.
CIO stands for Chief Investment Officer. The retarded often do not understand this. In simple terms.
Mentioning retarded, here is a little tip in HTML:
If you want to post a link, encompass it in tags. So type:
<a href="YOUR URL HERE">LINK TEXT HERE<a>
Where capitals shows you where to put things.
For text in bold, use <b>TEXT</b>, italics <i>TEXT</i>.
I hope you find this useful in your apparant customary spreading-of-shit posts.
Goodbye.
Same reason why even very hungry people won't take food stamps: pride.
Sorry, but there's a belief among the general populace, and the coding community in particular, that you don't live off the government.
Additionally, the fact that you deal with bureaucracy puts a serious asterix against any and all research that you might be doing.
