He'd wipe the floor with me, but I'd have fun nonetheless.<br /><br />I definitely agree we need to make the public more aware of how insane the code is, and then maybe we can get some action on reform.<br /><br /> What kind of major reform would you support?Monica Lawverhttp://thetaxcpa.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3734884211497773577.post-7846511224496030612009-10-02T08:07:27.178-07:002009-10-02T08:07:27.178-07:00MOK-

When I call reality tv “shit” (I try to use the word “excrement” instead of the s-word whenever possible) I am merely calling a spade a spade.<br /><br />As for your suggested contestant lineup, I would be honored to appear on the show alongside Kelly, but I would prefer Joe Kristan of the ROTH AND COMPANY TAX UPDATE BLOG or Monica Lawver of THE TAX CPA as the third contestant – Pappas and I aren’t speaking (like another tax blogger he cannot accept anyone who disagrees with his Pope-like pronouncements).<br /><br />I would love to have Nina Olsen as the moderator, and Professors Paul Caron, James Maule and Dan Shaviro as the judges.<br /><br />Regarding my “meticulous longhand”, my completed 1040s have indeed been literally called “works of art” by IRS personnel and fellow tax pros (or so a long-time client has told me). <br /><br />A very serious thank you for the post. I am glad you enjoy THE WANDERING TAX PRO, as I do also enjoy reading BED BUGS.<br /><br />Once I have finished with my GD extensions I will give some thought to suggestions for the National Tax Bee.<br /><br />TWTPRobert D Flachhttp://wanderingtaxpro.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3734884211497773577.post-25875470019022865992009-10-02T07:24:49.493-07:002009-10-02T07:24:49.493-07:00I'm open to the idea of making this a team com...I'm open to the idea of making this a team competition, or at least giving individual contestants the option of making a limited number of "lifeline" calls to an expert of their choice.Mary O'Keeffehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14662977706706048151noreply@blogger.com
