And he thought this new effort to create even greater levels of compliance was just nutty. 

Anyhow this is all a good thing in my opinion.  The alternative is to increase the tax rates.  I prefer no increased rates. So do you.  And a population that spends too much effort trying to meet the letter of the law is preferable to one that spends too little.
