Vested interests like tax preparers always lobby against the notion and talk about how it's a bad idea because they might overcharge you or whatever.

Not only that. Even the people who want to cut taxes all the time like Grover Norquist are against it. They want to make tax paying as painful as possible.

There are good reasons to want the general public to see their tax bills and be aware of the precise costs and the reasons for them.

But I can't see why we shouldn't let the government do the paperwork first and then send it to us to sanity check.
