tax coursePosted by munosib on August 30th, 2019 The mere thought of having to take and pass a tax course before graduating would be enough to turn thousands to turn thousands of people away from pursuing a college degree. Fortunately, most degrees do not require such a course, and it's a good thin: Albert Einstein himself once said, The hardest thing in the world to understand is the income tax. Whether Professor Einstein was referring merely to the concept of an income tax, or to the absolutely labyrinthine Tax Codes which now govern all US taxpayers, is not clear from the quote. But the fact is that the idea of a college level tax course is enough to send most of us into a cold sweat, and for a number of reasons. A tax course would necessarily have to include laws, and for those lacking a legal turn of mind, the study and understanding of laws is both boring and frustrating. A tax course would necessarily include numerical computation. Those not adept at working with numbers would soon be joining the legal dimwits in the dunce row. A tax course is dealing with subjects which affect the lives of almost every employed person, and will be affecting the lives of those taking it in a reasonably short amount of time. It can trigger all sorts of uncomfortable emotions about politics and attitudes toward money, and be an altogether draining experience. Like it? Share it! More by this author |
