I have no stake in the tax system other than paying taxes!

One may claim anything for background or expertise, the the logic of the argument and the evidence to back it are the only authority.

That doesn't answer the question, but if you owe taxes you should definitely pay them.

What a cop out. You can't even answer a direct question with a straightforward answer.
In other words you have no background or expertise? Why should I trust the "logic" of your particular "argument"?
Seems to me you're muddling through the same as all of the rest of us.
I'll pass on your presumptions, which is how I view your "argument".
