Then again, they probably all have their lawns mowed by lawn care professionals, too.

Again, aside from the question of whether taxes are too high (they are), why on earth should I need specialized training, or the assistance of someone who has it, in order to ensure that I am lawfully fulfilling my tax obligations. It's not that I object to the idea of paying taxes to support the government- police, military, roads, etc. all have to be paid for somehow- it's that as a citizen, it shouldn't be HARD for me to figure out my withholding accurately enough that I don't get pounded in the arse every April.
