Hope springs eternal – after writing the IRS on #TaxDay for decades, I am still waiting for a response.

Former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld filed for an extension on his taxes last week, like millions of other Americans. Unlike most, he included a personal note to declare his disgust with the incredibly complex U.S. tax system.

Excerpt:

"I remain mystified as to whether our tax returns and tax payments estimates are accurate," he wrote in a letter that he also tweeted. "The possession of a college degree, retention of an experienced tax accounting firm and earnest application have failed to provide confidence that my returns and payments are properly completed."

Comment: His tweet. I echo his view
