It’s that day again: Federal income taxes are due! I’m sure it’s a happy day for everyone reading this, knowing that we can trust the federal government to be wise stewards of the contributions we make from our hard-earned incomes, to be used to support and improve life for everyone here in these United States.
Now, when you’re all done dry-heaving, I’ll get on to what I really intended to say, which is this: Our tax system is badly broken, nobody really understands it, and the only reason it stays that way is that Congress will never vote to remove even part of that power to tax, which is the power to pick winners and losers, to impede and impair, to unfairly favor, to destroy.
And at no time throughout the year should this be more on the forefront of the national consciousness than today, Tax Day.
