>But what about a scenario in which for 30-50 million Americans file for their taxes by sending a SMS (as it's apparently done in Scandinavian countries)? And all the other taxpayers, they're wondering: "Why the f-ck can't my taxes be that easy??"
That's why Grover Norquist and others are lobbying against this. If taxes weren't a hassle, their movements would lose an important emotional touchstone that fuels many people's aggravation against the government. Being able to tap into that frustration, in order to enrich themselves and their political donor class is very effective.
- d4vlx 14y agoExactly, instead of having a convenient -option- that could save many Americans time and money Norquist and people like him are forcing the rest of the country to use a less efficient method. In other words they are taking away people "freedoms" in order to force them to fight to get their "freedoms" back. Norquist is of course more than happy to provide helpful guidance on what freedoms should be fought for.
