The question should be… WHY TF is this still necessary? Not to go full Steve Forbes, but a standard VAT tax + a progressive curve flat tax eliminates not only the issue at hand here, but also

• no more “filing taxes”. Mother fuckers, you (IRS) already know every cent I’ve ever made, just make the withholding tax, “the tax”
• no more April 15th
• eliminates loopholes and personal vs business tax bs
• no more “forms” and allowances for billionaires to pay nothing while I have an effective rate of over 40%

Yes, I know there are many arguments against scrapping our tax code but they pale in comparison to the advantages

Oh I forgot, also… no private company then has any access to YOUR information
