You claim that the current tax code is so bad, it "must be tossed".

Too high? Too complex? Unfair?

Surely you can't think taxes are too high? They've been lowered
way down into incredible deficit land already.

Somehow, all these years I've been paying my taxes not
noticing a problem. With the advent of computer assisted filing,
it's pretty easy. Back when I kept paper files and mailed in my
return it wasn't that hard either.

Fairness is a goal that can never be achieved. Trying to be
fair is one of the reasons our tax code is so complex.


Total fairness, no. Should Trump, or someone like him, only pay $750?
Too high? For some, others too low
Too complex? Why do some people need accountants and tax lawyers?
Unfair? For some, yes.

I have no complaints about the tax I pay and like you, easy to file. My
friend though, pays $5000 a year for an accountant.

I grumble to myself some rainy Sunday afternoon when I'm doing the
paperwork. I throw the envelopes into the mailbox on Monday and it's all
behind me.
