      But what appears to be the case here is that every person of “responsibility” here is trying to skirt the law. Heh. “Trying”. So my man has had to: go to court, foia the goddamned zoning board, pay lawyers, and run a successful campaign to…

      …defeat the rat ducks (okay auto correct, that’s funny) who tried to change the law AFTER THE FACT… which I think is an admission against interest, but I’ll leave that to my litigator friends.

      At the end of the day, the sheer effort it takes to get your neighbor to simply follow the law if they have town friends is insane. I don’t know what Morlock’s lawyers would do without his exceptional attention to evidential niceties.

      So say you’re not mother ducking polymath with a fighting spirit and the ability to grind for better outcomes? You get a taste of prison life. Or bad things happen. WHICH IS WHAT THE LAW IS SUPPOSED TO PREVENT.

      I don’t deal with Morlock’s type of law. But… I do tax stuff. And this is the Gods’ honest truth: middle class tax law is just painfully confusing and difficult. And this is how it’s SUPPOSED TO WORK.

      If this doesn’t make sense to you, let me ask you this: Why is the DMV not an in and out fast food experience? Walk in with your old license, walk out with a new one. Why is the one thing we almost all do, so painful.

      Now extrapolate that to more esoteric items. Your IRA’s? Lemme tell about converting it to an annuity mid year. What’s a SOSEPP? Why do I, as a tax practitioner need to have a whole book by someone who’s spent their whole life on IRAs?

      I’ll take your money but DAMN, the average person should be able to understand this. But there is no way in hell they can. In a million Sundays.

      So when I semi sarcastically tell @MorlockP “And this is how it’s SUPPOSED to work” I say it with this in mind. I love the law. I really do. It’s the way we avoid shooting each other on the streets. But goddamn it should be understandable to normal folks.

      If translated to a sports analogy, are you saying that if a play is reviewed for overturning by officials, extreme deference is given to the call on the field rather than the rule in the rule book?
