On fire and going the wrong way on the freeway
October 20, 2009
Christopher Bergin at Tax.com:
At its latest meeting the task force talked about something called the ReadyReturn system, under which the government would prepare tax returns for many of our citizens. Excuse me? OK, the ReadyReturn system is a nice little idea, but isn’t this like changing the windshield wipers while the car is on fire?
If that's the "big idea" for the current tax reform panel, tax reform will always have a bright future, because it won't ever actually happen.

I often use the phrase "rearranging the chairs on the titanic."
When I first read about this plan in President's April 15 speech, I contacted the Wall Street Journal authors and learned about it being just a ReadyReturn system.
