You've not seen much of the world then. I know of thousands of people
that cannot comprehend checkbooks, bank accounts, tax forms, etc. Take
a ride down the street, open your eyes, and you will see many of them.
I'd bet 90% of minimum wage workers cannot do the 1040EZ either on
line or on paper. They fall prey to overpriced tax services and that
is why I do the forms for some people for free.

One reason the problem exists is because of people like you that don't
know it exists and don't care to be of any help with it.
