Great commentary. I have lived through untold promises of replacing the US tax system, simplifying the US tax code, etc and have seen those initiatives result in 900 pages of new tax laws that end up providing more job security for the accounting profession. It will be interesting to watch this transition.

That's interesting Chris because I am hearing about people LEAVING the US and others mounting serious challenges to the Federal Tax system on the basis there is no law that permits the Federal Government from imposing and collecting such tax.

The problem is that while SAP customers can always threaten to switch platforms, very few people actually follow through on their threats to emigrate from the United States. The Federal Government has a monopoly, which they enforce with extreme prejudice.
