Taxes made me lose my arm and my leg

In case you haven't found out yet, today is tax day, aka the day to lose your paycheck, an arm and a leg to the IRS.

I paid $40 for Turbotax Prmier as I always did for my previous filings. But for some reason it told me that I owed Uncle Sam over $2000, which didn't sound quite right. So I went to an accountant to double check, and he told me that I actually owed them $2200 instead and, he's going to charge me $160 for doing the taxes for me. Oh boy, I'm screwed.

The IRS works in a very interesting way. They hire these guys to design the forms such that it's impossible for anyone with average intelligence to understand. If you have some money, you will get it done through Turbotax or get an account to do it for you. If you're broke, you are stuck doing it on your own, which means you will probably make tons of mistake, and end up getting audited by the IRS and fined up the wazoo.

IRS' algorithm

if( upper_class )
    tax_amount = yearly_income / 2 + accountant_fee + arm + leg + your_wife;
elseif( middle_class )
     tax_amount = yearly_income / 2.5 + turbotax + arm + leg;
else
    tax_amount = yearly_income / 3 + arm + leg + family;
    audit_user(); // screw over this guy since he probably did his taxes himself.

Filing your taxes is a lose-lose situation for most citizens. Shouldn't the governemnt pay these accountants to do our taxes instead of us using our already-taxed income to pay for software or accountants just so we can give IRS our money?
