"Expense accounts" have been a dirty word in tax circles for at least
the last 4 years.

Typo, that should have been 40 years.

Not that I know or care much about tax, but I don't see the problem.

Company executives wining and dining each other at the golf club using
untaxed expense accounts. Just the thought of it sends socialists off in
a conniption fit.

The problem is that tax is applied in so many places. It needs
drastically simplifying.

If you simplified it, it would become obvious how much of ones income
actually gets sequestered that way... the populous would not stand for it!

Contrarywise, at the moment people fel they are being taxed at every corner they turn.
