The man raises a valid point.  RevCan gets all documentation from other sources
anyway -- ie. employers, financial institutions -- so filing a personal return
seems to be a duplication of effort, and a wasteful one considering that most
personal return filers aren't taxation experts.  Why not just have the 
government do all calculations, mail you a bill/refund, and let you file an
appeal if you disagree with their figures?
