A good thought; a good proposal.

I've believed for a long time that our elected officials consider themselves "elite", and above us lowly citizens.

How bout these ideas;

1.) Elected officials make the average salary of the working American.

2.) Elected officials and their staffs live in dorms, and eat in a cafeteria while in D.C., and pay for the rent and food

3.) Elected officials must spend a minimum of 5 months in their home districts.

4.) Elected officials pay out of their salary into their retirement fund, medicare, FICA, SS, etc... 5.) Elected officials cannot serve more than 3 terms in any elected office.

How's that for a start...I got more...

But, honestly, this is the absolute worst tax form that I have ever seen! It is almost as if a legion of demons have crawled up out of Hell and wrote their own twisted kind of sadistic evil mayhem to wreck upon our frail and pitiful lives.

My comments? I think that's really funny.....LOL.

Indeed. Our tax law is equivalent to a cook who is making a post of soup. heads some salt, but it is not enough, so he adds more, then it just isn't quite right... so he adds pepper. Then oregano, and then some chili powder. But the chilli powder masks the salt so he adds more. Each time he adds, he is unable to remove anything from the soup. Eventually the soup becomes undesirable. But so much time and effort has went into the making of the soup that he is afraid to through it away.

In all seriousness vannrox, I think you have described the problem of our government as a whole, not just the tax codes.
