Good point. But I think lobbyists and special interests would throw a wrench into all of that.
If we simplify the tax code, some group somewhere will no longer benefit. I'm sure they and their lobbyists will fight extremely hard to make sure this part of the tax code remains. Multiply this by all the different groups that would be in a similar position and now you might see why I think simplifying the tax code would be extremely difficult.
- PhantomGremlin 8y agonow you might see why I think simplifying the tax code would be extremely difficult. Of course. You are 100% right. I was describing a fantasy world, you are describing practical reality. Edit: just to be clear, I'm not trying to be sarcastic in this post, even though it contradicts what I said earlier about how "trivial" it would be to simplify. The reality is as you describe. Any serious simplification would be extremely difficult to achieve.
