The problem with this argument in general is that there might always be unintended consequences for any change. Hence one should never try to change anything.

In this case, the argument about rising taxes seems completely arbitrary. Why couldn’t I likewise argue that they would actually be lower (e.g., by closing loopholes)?
- glofish 7y agoWhy couldn’t I likewise argue that they would actually be lower (e.g., by closing loopholes)? Well for one, there is no incentive to lower taxes. Loopholes have nothing to do with the ease of submitting a document. Loopholes exploit the various requirements of the law and play them out against each other.
