Honestly, I'm a little torn.
It sounds like a huge pain, and I wouldn't want to do it. Neither would anyone else.
On the other hand, huge pains like this are how policy gets changed. If it became more obvious to everyone that this was yet another hidden tax, perhaps there'd be more pressure to eliminate it or make it more rational.
- raldi 12y agoHow far would you take it? Would you support a law that mandated that taxes had to be paid in person, at one central office, with a long line in a hot, crowded room, and also they have crying babies and car alarms? That would be an even bigger pain and lead to even more pressure to eliminate taxes.
- gyardley 12y agoWhen someone already says they're torn about an intermediate position, they're not likely to be in favor of one taken to cartoonish extremes.
- raldi 12y agoThe thing is, though, I find it cartoonish to force people to calculate and file their own income tax. Especially since many of them just pay someone else (a person or a computer program) to do it for them. Which, in a way, is like yet another tax.
