Less taxation is highly unlikely. What the government taketh you almost NEVER see it giveth back.
On the other hand, less complicated taxaction is not only an economic issue, it is a moral issue.
Every year (so far) I sit down in February and start filling out my (computerized) tax forms. I do my best to answer all the questions correctly and honestly. I review the results and I prepare my filing. Then I send it off wondering if I just accidentally broke a tax law and what the penalties will be.
Any system that can turn someone who intends to obey the law into an accidental criminal is an immoral system. It must be changed so that someone who is intending to comply with the law can do so easily and without concern.
And, considering that the IRS was the only agency that could take down Al Capone, it's not just concern, it's fear.
Shalom.
Been audited twice. Both times I was doing my best to comply with code. Both times IRS ruled against me and actually showed me my error hidden in the depth of the gawdaful 'code'. And with the IRS you are guilty until you prove yourself innocent. And furthermore, even if there was no intent to defraud, you are still liable for interest and peanalties, so as a business owner, I have no choice but pay out the A** for an accountant to prepare my taxes now.
