Last week I went to H&R Block and paid them lots of money to deal with my taxes. While it was happening I remembered reading that the total amount of time that Americans spend dealing with their taxes is more hours than General Motors spends annually manufacturing all its cars. I believe it. I’ve already written about a simple way to make all the tax money the government currently gets by a tax system that EVERYONE uses, not just the poor and middle class. In it you only pay taxes on things you buy, and then only on non-essentials. Income itself would be untaxed.
