Supporting High Confiscatory Taxes
What's even more upsetting than just the fact that East Coast columnists such as this support Communistic redistribution of wealth in our supposedly capitalist society is the fact that I was alerted to this via a CPA oriented publication that often supports this kind of thinking.

I receive a lot of criticism when I bring this point up, but I have a very hard time believing that clients aren't being screwed over when the tax professionals they pay believe that our current tax rates are just fine and that everyone should be paying more. It's a conflict of interest that makes no sense. As I've always said in my advice for selecting a tax pro, it's essential to see if you both agree on whether or not it's a good thing to legally reduce your taxes. In fact, if you think that it is your patriotic duty to pay in as much as possible, why pay anyone to prepare your tax return? Just have the IRS do it for you for free. They'll make sure your wish comes true.
