The entire point of the low-tax rate/elimination of deductions advocated numerous times throughout the years by many politicians is apparently not "simplification" in the world of HondoFS...2001400ex said:
Correct. But I've never seen one politician ever actually push for true simplification. They say "we are going from 7 brackets to 3, look how simple that is". Great, you just changed a calculation in a computer. Reality is, the determination of what constitutes income will always be complex and that's what CPAs and attorneys work on.Southerndawg said:
True tax code simplification would affect all taxable entities. CPAs and Tax Attorneys would certainly be affected across the board. In other words, a complex tax code as it currently exists in the US, is most certainly a subsidy for CPAs and Tax Attorneys, which is why both groups lobby vehemently against true tax code simplification. It sounds like you need to hang up your spatula and get out of the kitchen at "your firm" more often to broaden your knowledge base a bit.2001400ex said:
I don't do taxes, I don't even do my own. However the people in my firm that do taxes, 95% of the work is getting the information ready for the tax return. Taxation is not a subsidy for CPAs. And the proposed tax plans that supposedly make it simpler, do nothing to make taxes easier. They just change the calculation in the computer. The funny part is "just go to a flat tax and get rid of those CPAs". You might get rid of H&R block, Jackson Hewitt, etc. But that doesn't make the tax returns we do any easier cause they are all farms, small businesses or other stuff that complicates the return.GrundleStiltzkin said:Taxation is theft

None of the points you make even touch determination of income. Deductions are easy to calculate too.HoustonHusky said:

The core issue is that the tax code is so outrageously complex that it is faceless tyrant.

No, most of the flat tax proposals also simplifies income such as dividends, capital gains, house sales, etc etc...amazing how that works.2001400ex said:

And I like how you are now lecturing the details on something that you said didn't even exist in your previous post...your "intelligence" and grasp of the issues is truly amazing. -
