Interesting to me-reality. Remember Herman Cain and his 999 slogan? The reality he pilfered that from Steve Forbes who said the number was 12-12-12. Cain went on to change his flat tax to allow the don't take from me sacred mortgage deduction.
I've read that our tax system employs over a million people. A flat tax would eliminate not only a major source of power but say half those jobs. Opinion, mine is we need a far simpler tax code. It is now 86,000 pages. I was in my own business. I had several inquiries, they were simple to explain and went away. A full audit, you can bet they will find something in the 86,000 pages. If, not you can claim harassment.
Few know there is a line on the tax form where you can choose to pay more than you owe. I wonder if anyone uses that line. This IRS, probably would question the mental competence, sanity, of the person completing the form.
