The Simplification Mandate

Even a little ding can cause the dominoes to fall
Ever have one of those days?
Run a day late on a credit card payment, you’re dinged a $39 late fee.
Miss a traffic sign on our way across town – right in front of a cop – and get dinged another $150.
There are ways to compound your grief, too. Park under the red no parking sign for that lesson. Let’s not even go to a conversation about the IRS.
Is it me, or does it seem like we’re rowing with the slaves on a ship of some Egyptian taskmaster. We are constantly being whipped. Lash! Penalty for early withdrawal. Lash! Fine for driving while dialing a cellphone. Lash! Ding for this. Lash! Ding for that. Physical abuse may no longer seem to be part of the equation, but I clutched my heart the last time I received a letter from the IRS.
