A ‘fair and balanced’ tax reform doc?

Who wouldn’t want to escape from the drudgery of filing your taxes on April 15 by taking in a movie?

But a new film, opening that very day, will ask us to think a bit harder about W9s and other accursed tax forms.

“An Inconvenient Tax” documents the history of the income tax and lets a gaggle of economic experts to weigh in on the subject of meaningful reform.

Steve Forbes. Neal Boortz. Noam Chomsky.

Talk about strange bedfellows.

Perhaps “Tax” is that rare documentary open to showing multiple sides of a tough subject. The film promises “a non-partisan presentation of U.S. tax history.”

Or, maybe the experts the film’s production team disagrees with with be heavily edited and/or taken out of context.

We’ll see. WWTW will report back with more information on the film when it becomes available.
