I know, I saw that hair and I could here the Ozone weep!
EEEsh. I never understand why people wold spend that much time on hair.

"The amazing thing is that the IRS today is no more efficient then it was in the 1950s before any computerization."
false, by every measure.

I'm not sure what Australia has to do with the IRS.

That software does not interpret tax code.
It is the implementation of the tax rules and written by people who need to understand the tax code.

hahahahahahaha.. you should look at some of the tax laws prior to 1960.

"No human could ever interpret and correctly follow tax law as it sits right now."
humans do that now so they can write code to make filing easier.

What are you going on about?

Don't be so irrational.

Actually we could work out ballistic trajectories just fine before automated computing.

Congress. If Congress had any integrity. Only that can change the rules and go after the free loading corporations.

Which as nothing to do with his point.

Except all evidence shows it's the pubs that are doing that. The Dems have fought repeatedly to make things more even.

I am generally speaking of pubs and dems since about 1950 or so.
I am baffled at how, as a party, people can think the dems are doing that. The way out of a caste system is money.
You might want to pay attention to who tries to give who equal access to money.

Just remember, someone in congress shoved that line into the farm bill,, not the IRS. Find out who.

"I personally don't because I don't use cash unless I have to. And then only coins."
I love statements like that. My mind suddenly comes up with some narrative about some crazy crank going on about germ and tracking in cash.

I know that it isn't true, but still I have fun picturing 'you' shoving dimes into a self check out, hair all mussy and the collar to your sweater turned up. wearing sandals with mis-matched socks.
On the plus side of this narrative, you shuffle out of this store, get into your Delorean and fly off.

'Big Brother' It was mostly whipped up by the media.
Along with that, ignorant religious people made mark of the beast comparisons.

First off:
We don't actually ship money into space.
Secondly:
We pay people, we have things manufactured, we do RnD. SO the money doesn' t disappear.
Thirdly
What we develop for space exploration helps us on earth as well.
Fourthly:
This planet will meet its doom. Either via global warming, a giant rock, or a massive solar event. So we should make a way to get some people off the planet.
Finally:
We know life an occur with liquid water, that's why it's a goal and why people get excited. No one thinks it's magically a great place to live, but it does improve the odds.

I'm going to have the put on my tombstone.
