When the average person is excessively burdened in the duty of filing his or her own taxes, and consequently must rely on a computer program or third party to do them, then the tax laws are defacto non-democratic. Therein, any congressman that does not avail themselves to fix such a system of taxation promptly is in utter violation of the nations charter and wholly impeachable.
- jhight 13y agoTax law complexity and democracy are two entirely unrelated concepts. Including the US, there are several democracies with complex tax laws. And several undemocratic with simple tax laws. I'd venture a guess that complexity of taxes is more related to health of the economy than the particular system of government.
- raintrees 13y agoNot sure why the down vote, I agree with this response, as well as others. I recently read that tax laws can be treated as the government's way of encouraging behavior. Now we study the tax laws to find out which parts we can qualify for and are advantageous to us. For example, knowing certain laws ahead of time can suggest which entity to form for a given business venture.
