The point of taxes is not to collect revenue, but to control you. If they actually needed the money, we wouldn't be over a trillion more in the hole every year. If they actually needed the money, there would be a flat tax automatically taken from your check and no need for tax forms at all. The IRS could just be a big ass computer.
Over 90% of everything the federal government does is unconstitutional. Before 1913, most of the federal revenue came from tariffs. We should go back to that.
The IRS basically already knows how much you may owe at the end of the year, or what your refund may be. They could have the ability for tax payers to input any necessary information into a website like turbo tax does already. The only reason they don't, she why filling personal taxes is so complicated you more or less need to use are least turbo tax, or maybe even a personal accountant, is because these industries heavily lobby Congress to keep these tax codes and standards overly complicated. That's directly what keeps turbo tax, H&R Block, and other tax services in business. They're nothing but a middle man that does nothing the IRS couldn't do, and then you get to pay the middle man for the privilege.
My family members' finances are simple enough that they can file through turbo tax for free.
I make less than all of them but work as an independent contractor and have to pay to file my taxes. I already pay more taxes than a normally employed person, so I get double screwed. It's bullshit.
My tax return is very simple. I've done my own taxes for 50 years. I'll never be rich enough for my taxes to be complicated enough to require outside help. List income, subtract standard deduction, look up tax in the table. Nothing to it.
