An Inconvenient Tax - Official Trailer from Life Is My Movie Entertainment on Vimeo.

An Inconvenient Tax premieres, aptly enough, on April 15. This film explains how our convoluted and excessively complex tax code came to be, looks at how it has been thoroughly abused by politicians, and offers several viable ways to effect meaningful reform. It could not be more timely--and it transcends the partisan bickering that tends to define debates about taxation to focus on what we are all losing, and what we could all gain from some serious change.

Watch the trailer, and if you want to see this film, please contribute to the fund-raising campaign launched yesterday at Kickstarter.com, and urge your friends to do the same. Every little bit helps. Your gift is tax-deductible--and will help raise the $20,000 needed to ensure that this film reaches the widest possible public. Kickstarter campaigns are on clocks--the deadline for raising that amount is April 15--and if the film doesn't make it, all donations will be returned.

Full disclosure: An Inconvenient Tax is produced in association with the Moving Picture Institute (MPI), which is also running the Kickstarter campaign. As I've mentioned here before, I am closely involved with MPI's work.
