The former spousal unit and I spent an entire afternoon filling out the paperwork necessary to make our split legal. (The what’s mine/what’s yours list was surprisingly easy.) During this process it occurred to me that it’s easier to dissolve your marriage than to fill out anything more complicated than a straight 1040. It is also easier to buy a handgun, get a passport, or apply for a mortgage (though the mortgage tends to be more anally painful.)
So I must ask, not the IRS, since the IRS only enforces the law, but Congress…
WHY THE HELL CAN’T YOU IDIOTS COME UP WITH A SIMPLER TAX SYSTEM!?
Christ, Europe has attrociously high taxes, and THEY have a simpler system!
No wonder this country’s in the toilet.
Oh, and George? Lower spending or lower taxes. You can’t have both. Sorry, but it has never worked in my lifetime, and it never will, and I used to have the credit rating to prove it.
Pres. Bush was a commentator on the first baseball game last night. How he can manage to come across as a jovial, harmless fellow is his greatest feat as President. It sent chills up my spine that he didn’t have a care in the world as they were finding the body of the guy in Ohio missing all these years.
Jim,
We need to get rid of the peronal income tax and go strictly with a consumption tax.

yes, I agree the simplier system to calculate due taxes is always best and the concerned people who plan tax doccumentations should put lot of efforts to make the system smooth and simple.
