  Well the NYT can't call fascist takeover what it is, that wouldn't be "fit to print" as their money lies in service of power.
How is it a mistake? It makes tax dodging easier and reduces the ability of the IRS to run audits. Seems intentional to me.
Its like watching the fall of Rome

  Sharpiegate was already analogous to Caligula declaring war on the sea.
I'd love to see the look of people's faces celebrating this when they realize they still need to pay taxes and the process is going to become much more annoying due to IRS being understaffed
