Hart Filing Taxes Sparks Government Mess Claim
A Philadelphia carpenter, John G. Hart, tested the government’s tax guidance and found it inconsistent. He cited three officials giving varying totals, then filed a claimed $30.16 from a second expert, while urging reform of the tax law as too complex.
