RE: How many accountants and tax preparers would be out of work if a flat tax ever went into effect? Do you seriously think they don’t lobby against a simpler tax code?

I think I see the reasoning here... let’s complicate the tax code even more to create more jobs for accountants, lawyers and the like...

Why not create more complicated government rules so that more jobs will be generated navigating through these rules?

For that matter, why not encourage unruly kids to break more windows so that glass and window makers can have more businesses and hire more glass and window makers?

That's how parasites work. One shouldn't be angry at the louse for living in one's hair (although one might want to kill it anyway). One shouldn't be angry at tax professionals either - except that lice don't vote for you to have dandruff, but tax professionals do often vote to make tax laws even more complex, so as to assure themselves a secure future. With a 10 % flat tax, or an NRST, and they all would have to find productive jobs, instead of parasitic jobs.

we need an ammendment to the consitution that says “any legislation, Rule, regulation, tax code, etc., not understood by the average Chicago High School graduate is null and void”
