In closing - If you act like a child, expect to be treated like one.
Downvoting makes me sick. If I disagree with somebody I always give them a reason or just forget about it.
As far as treating people who act like children being a good idea, I disagree. The fact is that the vast majority of people at an emotional level are children. And, while I suspect, also, that I am one of only a small number of people who actually know this, all indications I see are that I am still one myself. There is a simple truth that nobody wants to come to conscious grips with, looking at the world as testament to this, and it is that all of our imagined troubles have their source, not out there with other people, etc. but with ourselves. You have a problem within you if you want to treat others as children who treat you that way. We have met the enemy and it is us. You see almost nobody who actually lives like this. Everybody is pointing a finger at somebody else. All my problems would vanish if but for this and this. No, the kingdom of heaven is within us, and I did once or twice actually see it.

Then there were those times as a child, remember, maybe watching the clouds float by?
So the issue with taxes for many is lack of experience. I am doing taxes for my niece who has never done them in her life and wanted to pay to have them done. I sat her down to do a free program that required a form for a non-standard income source, a one line item, that put her in the 'have to pay to file' category, so I am doing it for her long hand. Because she has never done taxes, knows that tax laws are massive in number and complex, collapses at the first thought of having to do them herself. Anybody with a normal tax situation can do taxes, but not until they learn how and learn they can learn how without a massive effort. Taxes and finances are intimidating to many people. You have the good fortune to have past the point where you start doing your taxes at the bottom of the hill. You don't even factor in the fact of how long it took you to learn to read. Try your taxes without being able to do that. But everybody can read, right, even people who are dyslexic or transpose from the wrong line.
I would love to watch somebody compute their taxable social security with anuity or pension income with a 100 or below IQ. My guess is that I'm over a hundred but took 85% of the wrong line for somebody before I caught my mistake. How about the health care line. Check the box and enter zero, or put in your health care bill? Read the instructions. Earned income credit? Read the rules, fill out the worksheet. Who get's to declare the kids in case of 50 50 joint custody. Read the rules. Make sure you have your divorce papers in hand. Make sure you know who has the higher AGI, whatever that means. Read the rules, look up what the terms mean, and watch your precious day off time fly by when you could have been doing something you enjoy. And then when you get done and have become a master at doing your own taxes, thump your chest and tell the next person it's easy. Or just leave the chest part out and show somebody who doesn't know how to do it so they will be able to next year.
And while you're at it, tell your congress person to provide a law that says you get a 100 dollar refund if you do your taxes with the government on line e-filing with free government software. Just imagine how much more financially informed and capable the average person will become. Why the fuck should I pay taxes to cover the write off people who pay professional tax preparers and then write off on next years taxes as a deductible expense. How much do you imagine tax preparation companies pay on the dollar they charge you? Do you think the government is recovering that on the other end? Anyway, I gotta go do taxes.
