Beware the Ides of April

You know, most years I finish the taxes and think the whole system is entirely too complex. This year, however, I have come to the conclusion that, on the contrary, the system is nearing perfection in its chaos. In fact, if many more statutes are added to the tax code, my prediction is that it will become self-aware and become the world's first Artificial Intelligence.

Several obvious objections come to mind, like the fact that the tax code is a printed document and not a computer program, but I'm convinced this is just a red herring. The tax code creates printed copies of itself to lessen the likelihood that people will catch on to what is coming. All those CPA's who study the tax code and "help" average citizens do their taxes are actually Agents of the tax code, a la Agent Smith.

Now I may have said too much. I think a van load of CPA's just pulled up out front! If you don't hear from me again, don't believe the lies they will propogate about tax evasion.

Alas, the Tax Man Cometh...
