Agreed but the tax code, if printed one-sided, on 8-1/2X11 20lb bond weighs more that an Olympian can lift.
There are too many special interest-benefits and congressional carve-outs in the code. I have an MBA and I have to hire a CPA to do my taxes.
A flat tax with zero deductions or credits is the most fair
And the easiest to raise with one fell swoop.
