By all means, let's simplify the tax code. Don't worry about the
lawyers, they'll always find work to do.

Yes. Let us do that. Let us firstly that a letter of intent should
accompany all legislation, laying out the spirit of the proposed law.
Then somehow codify that legalistic loopholes are not valid if they
violate the spirit of the law. I thought that something like that
may (have) exist (ed).


Yes, it's called "The Constitution Of The United States Of America"
in which the Federal government is granted a very narrow, specific,
and limited set of things it is allowed to do. They are called
"Enumerated Powers" and the Doctrine Of Enumerated Powers was
repeatedly affirmed and confirmed as intention by James Madsion,
that document's author. Sadly, today's whiny and entitled
public want the Feds to be their Daddy (the Republicans) and/or
their Mommy (the Democrats) and no end of mischief has transpired
thereby.


I'm going to a set of continuing ed lectures on the Constitution this
fall. I may adopt at times your stance to see whether I can rattle the
speaker esq.



Listen to the Cronkite set on the Constitution from Knowledge Products.
Then listen to the set on the Federalist Papers. At that point, you'll
understand the Constitution better than 90% of lawyers, 99% of the general
population, and 99.999999999999999% of politicians....
