Why Tax Reform Is Impossible
Credits and deductions bridge the ideological gap that that creates a presumption on one side that everything is done better if it is done by free market forces and that on the other side presumes that if somebody is making money on it it must be bad for everybody else. The collateral damage from that mode of compromise is a messy complicated tax code.
Do Women CPAs Just Need To Lean In ?
Personally, I don’t think public accounting’s “women at the top problem” will be solved by women reading “Lean In” and changing their ways. It will be solved when a few score women directors, senior managers and income partners walk out and start a firm. I’d be willing to bet that Womanpower CPAs would have one of the top 4 spots within a decade and transform the industry.

Over and over again courts have said that there is nothing sinister in so arranging one’s affairs as to keep taxes as low as possible. Everybody does so, rich or poor; and all do right, for nobody owes any public duty to pay more than the law demands: taxes are enforced exactions, not voluntary contributions. To demand more in the name of morals is mere cant.
