Just finished my tax return for 2025. I paid over $6m in federal taxes last year, which dwarfs the amounts I spend on my family. Taxes shouldn't be anyone's largest expense... and certainly not by a order of magnitude (10x).
But, until I'm willing to pick up a rifle, I'm certain there's no way to prevent the criminals in D.C. from continuing to rob me.
What I find far more troubling is that the document that I'm required to submit along with these funds is over 600 pages long and costs me a fortune to prepare each year.
And ... don't forget... if my accountants make a mistake... this document can be used in a criminal trial against both me and my wife.
Please explain how anyone could possibly be responsible for knowing, as a matter of law, whether or not every number in a 600 page document is accurate?
And the best part? If you send this document to ten different accounting teams, you'll get ten different final amounts.
This is all nuts.
