Imagine if income tax made sense!

I'm in Canada so I don't know how US tax filing works.

I just finished completing Canadian returns for myself & wife. I'm extremely frustrated & angry at how complex and confusing it is. I'd like to make all members of the government and its bureaucracy manually complete their own tax returns; preferably within a monitored time limit of, let's say, one hour - on pain of dismissal.

Why don't we have a simple & rational system of income tax? It's an absurd folly, using the tax system to incentivize/discourage activities & lifestyles instead of using subsidies, legislation or regulation to do so.

some of us think a flat tax is in order
you know, across the board, the same rate no matter the source of the income

but our Big Money people would hat that
