I think you are right, my point more that until we have revamped our school systems so that teachers do not have to purchase extra expenses, the tax code remains unfortunately complicated.
A lot of the blame goes ( justifiably ) at private companies and their lobbyists, but even without these vested interests there's a lot of complexity that cannot be easily removed

The difficult is all in the politics since costs of various subsidies and incentives granted via deductions/exemptions/credits become transparent and part of the government budget.
- nineplay 6y agoI'd be interested to see those few sentences. If they are "no more deductions/exemptions/credits" that is (relatively) simple but would upset a whole lot of taxpayers.
- grayhatter 6y agoThat whole argument of the teachers need a complicated tax code is cancerous. There's an easy way I'm happy to solve it with. If you're a public school teacher, you can skip paying taxes. You already aren't paid well enough, this ones on us.
