The Cost of Tax Preparation = Oklahoma's GSP

CARPE DIEM: The Cost of Tax Preparation = Oklahoma's GSP
"Add to that the $30 billion the IRS estimates Americans will spend out-of-pocket on tax preparation (tax software programs, tax preparers, accountants etc.), and it's equal to the $139 billion annual output of the state of Oklahoma."

There is something seriously wrong with this.
It is entirely wasted effort and expense.
Especially when 47% of Americans don't pay, don't care.
