Its true. I defy you to find me ONE person in the United States who likes our complicated federal income tax code and the agency that administers it.

Of course no one likes it. However, the last time I saw anything approaching seething voter hostility was in 1992. Arguably, even then, voters were seething about many issues. If there truly was seething voter hostility out there, we would have had change by now.

There are 535 in Congress that LOVE the IRS & the power of the income tax!

I defy you to find me one person who can accurately predict the macro outcome, the complexity, and the bureaucracy of this hookey NEW tax scheme. It certainly is not the actual sucker candidate that bought into the new tax.

I love it!!! They are so screwed up they cannot get out of their own way. There are many ways to beat the IRS but football is more important to many than learning how to do it.

Are you smoking dope? There are plenty of tax professionals who go to bed each night thanking God for our tax code.

I would suggest that nearly 1/2 of the population could care less about the IRS - they pay only 4% of the total from federal income taxes. Payroll tax on the other hand goes for Social Security and Medicare, which hits everyone who works legally - I think that’s about 10-15% of your wages up to a certain threshold (can’t remember- $77,000/yr?). The Fair Tax would also eliminate the imbedded corporate taxes that are passed on to the consumers, which is about 20% added on. Before the Nation could embrace a national sales tax that would hit everyone, the Constitution would need to be amended to make sure that the Income Tax goes away before the Sales tax kicks in.
