Radio spots, TV ads, even a very expensive Super Bowl ad purchased at taxpayer expense to remind us that we must complete the census form in order to "get our fair share" of our own money. This morning I heard that the tax and spend regime has even purchased ad space on the back of fortune cookie messages. How about this for an approach to getting a headcount - and a proper one too - for what should be little or nothing.

Everyone who deserves to be counted files an income tax form or is listed on one as a dependent. Count them, sort by zip code, and you're done. That runs the risk of leaving out some who, for one reason or another, don't pay any taxes, but that seems fair to me. What do you think?
