Tax season always means a deluge of tax advice. Unfortunately, most of it is futile and lightweight.

It's fundamentally unfair to have so much of the tax relief go to so few. And it is a 10-year tax plan rather than one, as mine, focused on the next two years, which in my opinion is the critical time to jumpstart the economy.

Tax reform is a once-in-a-generation opportunity.

I used to do my own taxes. You know how you buy that gigantic sheet at Staples, add up the restaurants, clothes, and taxis and glue your receipts into the book month by month? The more money I made, the more complicated things got.

The time to give away money is when you make it.

What I usually do is hoard money - I accumulate as much as possible in the fear of not having enough to pay tax.

If you make time each month to give your money some attention, you'll start the next year in fabulous financial shape.

I think you need to have a tax system that basically is flat, fair and simple. And - that you can put on a post card. I mean, even Timothy Geithner could do this one and get it on time.

What I want to do is make certain that no one's taxes go up. Let's look at cleaning up the tax code.

The time making money should be greater than the time that you are spending money.
