I think the American people are missing out on an opportunity here: if the geniuses hired by Obama can’t figure out the tax code, neither should the rest of us be expected to. That thing should be tossed into a bonfire and the Fair Tax should be instituted!
Taxes are not about fairness or raising revenue for government operations.
Taxes are about control - punishing those the rulers don’t like and rewarding those they do.
The dims don’t like ordinary Americans.
