Ok. Tax help is one thing
But I keep seeing the commercial about how much the tax website was able to help people. The "we owed xx, but only paid xx" one.

Its nice that they were able to help the old retired couple. But how is it supposed to be ok that the wealthy looking couple who owed "over three million" but supposedly only paid 1 million. How is that not screwing every other tax paying American?

I ignored it like i ignore most commercials, but now that I have noticed the premise of it, I am a bit disgusted.

1. haven't seen it...
but reminds me about how every ad on "personal responsibility" right-wing talk radio is for "services" to magically eliminate your credit card debt. :/

4. Pretty sure that if you owe 1 million
you made enough to pay your taxes(and pay someone to make sure they were done) and really ought to pay any fines caused by not doing so.

3. It's about "helping" rich tax evaders.
