My wife and I took in a green card carrying mexican woman with six kids back in the late 80’s. She was part of the Clinton Amnesty program. We looked for work for her for six weeks and finally found it. She worked two days and quit because she “wanted to be with her kids.
Of course, the job only paid $100 a month more than her welfare benefits, so she was, in effect, working 40 hours a week for $100 a month. She had become a ward of the state, and all of the rungs on the ladder to success that were at the starting point were too low, compared to her welfare benefits, to motivate her to ever take one step on that ladder.

I get it. The tax system sucks, and yeah, Accountants could do much more productive stuff, only we would no longer need so many. Not even close.
We both think it sucks, the only difference is that I think it is here to stay for as long as the government that requires it exists. You think there can be some change to something that we both agree is better - without the country being, in effect, forced into it.
That is the only place we differ. So I’m with you! Let’s fight for that fair tax - once there is a smidgen of chance we could win that fight.
