Impossible Tax System

So get this. Our tax system is so ridiculous that I used H&R Block free tax software to do my taxes. I owed $1200 after itemized deductions. My brother-in-law Lewis, suggested I go see his CPA. I was reluctant at first because Lewis doesn't really seem like the kind of guy that has a CPA. Nothing against Lewis he is just a true blue-collar guy. I went to the CPA and now we are getting back a ton of money. Not because I did our taxes wrong, but because of several loop-holes that CPAs know about. This is a great example of people with money getting breaks while people without enough money get screwed on their taxes. By the way, the people who make the decision in our country take advantage of our current tax system and don't have the integrity to change to a fair system. From now on I vote for someone who supports the fairtax and suggest that others that want a strong economy do the same. Oh yea, and those that want my vote.

Yeah I gave up doing my own years ago. My CPA always gets me more back than I calculate. You might have to fork over some money but sometime it's worth it. Glad to here it worked out for you!!
