...I'd offer that generally the IRS winds up being, at
the end of day, somewhat fair, either by accident or from external
pressure.

HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! Time after time after
time after time......

How DO you do it?

And something else from the article you cited:


"But many Americans abroad protest that it unfairly targets them. The
Joint Committee on Taxation in the U.S. Congress estimated that the new
measures would cost $200 million a year in taxes for the 4.1 million
Americans - excluding military personnel and Foreign Service officers -
living abroad."


That's an average of 50USD per taxpayer...

Average? Uh oh. Hey steeeeeeevieeee!

and from the article, it
appears that those in the higher income range with the bigger perq packs
are going to carry the lion's share of the burden.

Tsk, tsk. One is forced to wonder how the dears bear up under the
strain.

...And we have friends from just about every corner of the
globe,

Yeah? Try telling them you ****ed away the family giblets sometime.
You'll see what "friends" means.

and I've yet to run across anyone, of any socio-economic class,
who feels they are being unfairly undertaxed.

Profundity, thy name is dicklet.

What's the bottom line? For me, it's when someone who has made their
own bed complains that it isn't comfortable

One is forced to wonder......have you ever actually SEEN a bed being
made?
