Accountants need to eat too.

• nitrogen 17y ago
  As with any other job or profession, if society no longer has a need for accountants, they will have to find something else to do. In my view tax accountants shouldn't be necessary for the vast majority of individuals. I view them (as a profession, not as individuals) as just another middleman leeching value from the supply chain, enabled by a complicit government. Let them work for people and businesses who have too much money to manage alone, and let the common person (which in this case I'll define as anyone with less than 5 sources of income including bank interest) have a simple tax system that he or she can manage alone.
