Radley Balko writes a nice op-ed piece about taxes and paycheck withholding. Not many people know that this was one of the biggest 'bait and switch' cons ever pulled on the American public. While repealing the war-time law passed in 1943 wouldn't be that difficult, it could prove to be a nasty headache for the IRS and US Treasury.

Balko writes that tax collection shouldn't be easy. "When tax collection is easy, spending tax dollars becomes easier, too. And government grows." While I agree with him 100%, the skeptic in me tells me that it'll never happen. Congress is too power hungry, and the special interests are too eager to get their hands on my tax dollars.
