We spent some time in Florida this week. That may have something to do with the anti-car theme of this week’s links.
Also this week: Tax time. Taxes shouldn’t be so difficult as to require the services of a professional or a piece of software. I was reminded of this report about who’s lobbying for tax complexity in this country, which I linked to in February. I also think many American’s desire to “get a deal”–or, at least feel like they are getting one–makes us complacent with our current, very convoluted tax code.
