We, the people… well, most of us people… don’t have a brace of tax attorneys and accountants behind us.  We have little clue of how tax codes apply to us.  a) we can’t understand them and b)  we wouldn’t have time to read the voluminous code if we could.  YET, we are deemed guilty if we violate such codes.  (Interesting it is coded – don’t you think?)

Each year… as tax season approaches… we a) really don’t know how much tax we owe and b) don’t know how much of our own money we will have returned to us.  The government will not pay interest on the money that we lent to them during the tax year.  But, you can bet the government will charge a penalty if we get caught owing them money.  By, caught, I mean misunderstanding the tax code or making a mistake.  If we had a brace of tax attorneys and accountants behind us, we could stand up and face them down (al la GE).  We don’t… disillusioned and discouraged, we just pay… and hate.

Do I hate and fear the IRS.  YES, I do!  My enemy has me by the cojones because they have me confused.  A Fair Tax law would put an end to that.  Government “code”, secrecy, and complication would be obliterated by the Fair Tax Law.

So those of you who are satisfied with the tax system the way it is, chime in here.  State your position and defend your thesis.
