I am all for simplification of the code.

Translation: You want a simpler implementation of one of the planks of the Communist Manifesto, aka the income tax.

Which, of course, is a pipedream, a misdirection, anyhow, since the very purpose of the income tax is to control the people, to social engineer, to divide and conquer, to enslave...

That would be a progressive income tax. I favor a flatter tax, and liked what Reagan did. That have mucked it up significantly in the last 20 years.
