Taxes

We’re doing our taxes.  My head is about to explode with too many thoughts about ordinary dividends, percentage this, cost basis that, Form 1099-Div., or is it -Int., or is it -A, -B, -S or -R?  Gawd.

While I was making dinner last night I watched a show about Estonia hosted by Rudy Maxa on PBS.  Maxa said Estonia has a flat tax (everyone pays the same percentage (I forgot how much)), 80% of the people file online and it takes about 15 minutes. It sounded so deliciously sane and fair and modern.
