Turning over everything I earn is very “simple”. It’s also what Obama has in mind.
Listening to Obama’s comments yesterday, he apparently thinks that the way to “simplify” taxes is to have the IRS calculate your taxes for you. That way you wouldn’t have to waste all that time on your own tax preparation, just trust the government to get it right.
Simple two part tax code.
1. How much did you make?
2. Send it in.
BS, BS, BS! There is no plan to simplify the tax code. It is too ingrained in the Dems (and too many Republicans) to use the tax code as both a carrot and a stick for social engineering instead of just using it as a method to collect the funds necessary to run government. Everything from the "progressive" (in the same sense that cancer is a progressive disease) tax rates to tax credits for weatherstripping your house is meant to get the American people to run through the right chute on the way to shearing like good little sheep.
To argue for a truly simplified tax code is to argue for the removal of all social controls from the tax code. Not going to happen under Obama.

Obama’s simple tax: simply take 100% of everything you own or make. No forms, no fuss. Just give it all over to him.
