I do my own taxes sans software or tax guy. I like to take the pulse of how the Congress is fiddling with the tax code and what particular wild hair they got stuck up their *ss that year. (Aside from that, I'm pretty accurate. I took my taxes to a pro one year and all I got out of it was the same result I'd gotten and a $400 bill.)
But every year, I look at the friggin' tax code and think- There has GOT to be a better way!. To see if AMT applies... If over $145,000 STOP...The lesser of the three... To see if you are eligible for Child Care Credit even if you're not a child ... If someone you know or even someone you don't know can claim you as a dependent... Form 2441... Schedule ASS....
Aside from the fact that Congress is making busy-work for tax preparers and accountants I find the tax code unfair and every year about this time I dream of how I would change the tax code.
What about you? How would YOU change it?

Sounds good. Now the rub....
Tax corporations the same as people? Tax on net or gross income? If a corporation is based elsewhere but does business in the USA, tax on USA earnings?
What about sales tax? Social Security tax? Medicare?

QUESTION: ARE YOU A SLAVE?
40-million US citizens don't file income tax, not counting the 40-million illegal aliens, not counting the tens of millions of legal aliens who have tax exemption for 8 years.
In USASPP the income tax is voluntary, since the 16th Amendment to US Constitution was never ratified by the states. Suckers. By signing a Social Security card contract you voluntarily waivered your Constitutional right to own property, and you volunteered to pay the income tax. None of the money you pay in income tax goes to the federal govt, all of it goes to pay the interest on the fed govt's debt to the private multinational Federal Reserve Bank, which counterfeits all US "dollar bills" (Federal Reserve Bank Debt Notes), HQed in London England. You are not allowed to buy stock in the Fed Reserve Bank, since only trillionaires are allowed to do that.
Since Jr Bush overthrew USA by merging USA with Mexico and Canada, USA no longer exists, so why pay income tax to the "US Govt", which does not exist? Canada is a member of the 53-nation British Commonwealth, owned by the German Queen of England (Bush Jr's 19th cousin). The Queen's mugshot is on Canadian money, and will soon be on the Amerodollar in USASPP.

All contracts must be voluntary, without fraud, without duress, and there must be a "meeting of the minds", which means the contract must be legible and readable. The "tax code" is so big that no human being has ever read it, which makes it "void for vagueness".
The rich elite say that "taxes are for the little people". Business owners pay no income taxes, since everything is a tax deduction. Corporations can earn billions of dollars and get a REFUND/REBATE, instead of paying taxes on profits, such as the rebate to ship US factories to Communist China. If you don't own a business to write-off your expenses for your "hobbies", then you're a moron/slave, which is exactly what Uncle Scam and the Media Mafia want you to be.

Irwin Schiff's Secrets of Living an Income Tax-Free Life
Irwin's been helping us, and now it's time to help him. If he's successful in reversing his conviction, all American's will benefit! Irwin Schiff sentenced to life on death row because the 16th Amendment to US Constitution was never ratified by the states, and the Social Security contract is a voluntary slave contract to pay an unconstitutional voluntary income tax to the international banksters at the private Federal Reserve Bank Corporation.

Eradicate it.
Firstoff, it's Unconstitutional, and that's a fact.
PN is correct in his assertion that the 16th Amendment was never in truth ratified, and recently uncovered documentation of this fact does exist, and from fairly ironclad sources - it appears that the instigator of this fraud was Phil Knox, circa Feb 1913.
I'll leave further investigation up to the individual, but there is indeed hard evidence of a fraudulent ratification process.
Secondly, the Federal Reserve is indeed a private corporation and not a branch of government, operating without one whit of constitutional authority and thus has not the power of law - not that it stops them from co-opting the governments armed thugs to coerce you.
In essence, the income tax is in fact a form of extortion.
Sure, we'd have to take an axe to some so-called services of government, but that's all too easy - start with the unconstitutional "alphabet agencies" run on budgets hidden from the light of day where neither the voter nor their elected representative is even 'allowed' to know about, much less vote on.
FBI,CIA,NSA,BATF,DARPA,Homeland Security - none of these have ever had any real success in their assigned purpose, and mostly waste tremendous sums of our tax money harrassing and intimidating us.
Imagine how much money, time and hassle would be eliminated by dissolving these clowns.
The FedGov operated without stealing from us prior to 1913, and has it really improved matters to allow them an almost unlimited slush fund ?
Put the fat bastards back on a diet, I say.
Ron Paul apparently agrees.

Did you know that DARPA was the originator of the internet which you freely enjoy? Also the Fed paid for the interstate highway system - which has expanded free commerce tremndously- as a form of troop and military transport? Of course not.
Assuming that we DO have to apy SOME taxes, how about this simplification?
I'm going through the form on dependents and exemptions. There are all kinds of "tests"... are you married? Did you provide more than 50% of support? Was your dependent kidnapped? Really stupid shit.
How about this?:
Everyone w/ a SSN w/o exception gets a $5000 individual exemption (inflation-indexed from base year, rounded to the nearest $100) An exemption can only be claimed once per year, and only under the control of the individual or guardian/ parent. If exemptions are pooled, incomes must also be pooled. If you are a non-citizen, you can only claim a $2000 exemption. This law include corporations, small businesses, and cooperative. No tests for marriage, disability or dependency applied.
Results: Families and partners would be ecnouraged since living costs do not accrue as quickly and exemptions.

Well aware of both those facts, Siggy.
If I want it done at a hundred times the cost for 10% of the efficiency, I'll ask the FedGov to do it.
If I want it done, and want it done RIGHT, I'll have my local officials hire a contracted service to do it right the first time at a reasonable cost.
We recently had a couple paving/roadwork jobs done by a local contractor and they did a heck of a job for less than a fifth of what the FedGov would have billed, and they did it a decade sooner.

Bullshit. What about health care? It's "private" and it's a boondoggle that's dragging down the entire economy.
And why DIDN'T private enterprise create a hiway system? Or the internet for that matter?

Touche.
Yeah, Health Care needs to be nationalised, that's one issue where I would yank for a Constitutional Amendment to make it so, the entire health-care system is in the hands of protected monopolies that are completely destructive, but health care is something every person needs, and as such, *should* be federal.
Private enterprise laid the railway system that lead to the hiway system, but of course via a set of robber baron monopolies that exploited the hell out of it - however interstate highways fall under interstate commerce and are therefore federal in jurisdiction.
The feds do a piss-poor job of it overall, and the contracting system is full of pork and kickbacks... the existing system needs cleanup, is what it is.
Open the damned contracts to any viable company instead of limiting them to favorite donor lists and things will no doubt improve - also accountability on behalf of the contractor, we're having a fight or two on that respect here in MI... if they do a shoddy halfass job, they should be penalized for it, not rewarded with more work.
The internet is how things *should* work, in fact it could be held up as a model of how government, private enterprise and downright individual ingeniuty produce wonders - of course, the corporations are already sucking up to the feddies to usurp even more authority and hand it over to them, something which should be roadblocked immediately.
Thing is, certain limits *need* to be held to, with regard to government and corporate power, but neither should either of those things be utterly abolished, no.
It's a whole nother topic, and i'll be brief, but when most folk say "Privatize" or "Free Market" they *mean* "Government Protected Monopoly", and it shows.
I don't see why open bidding on ANY government contract isn't standard, save in cases (such as processing military data) where our security would require the bidding to be more limited.
On the one hand, the solutions are easy enough - it's ramming them through a collective of elitist oligarchs who've been profiting on the status quo for years that's going to be the bitch of the job.
