Well, that's the direction things are going in the US, although we're not there yet. Personally I don't have a problem with it as long as there's no additional cost to the taxpayer, or if at least the cost is reasonable. But what happens here is that special interests get involved and someone ends up making a lot of money off what should be a free service. For example, our Internal Revenue Service could easily provide free tax return software or an on-line site for creation of tax returns. But there are a number of companies that make billions of dollars selling tax return software and services. Those companies spend a lot of money lobbying Congress to ensure the IRS is blocked from creating its own tax return software. Although you can file an electronic return for free if you have a simple return, for anyone with a complex return like mine it costs hundreds of dollars to buy the commercial tax return software to file electronically. Consequently many taxpayers with complex returns refuse to pay for commercial software and still file a paper return. The IRS ends up paying more to process the paper returns than it would cost them to give away tax preparation software.

A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
