Taxi to Parking
Tax code could be quite simple and transparent, but then folks wouldn't get to deduct charitable donations or home mortgage interest. They wouldn't get a child care credit and couldn't claim a home office. Yeah, all that social engineering.
In most nations if the government doesn't want you to do something they make it illegal. Here we tax it more. Makes the tax code bonkers. If the government wants to encourage you they give you a tax break instead of just paying you. It appears to be what we want, since no one is really serious about reforming it. So we all use computer algorithms or accountants.
Complaining about paying tax is in a special class of stupid. Sort of like complaining about dying.
