taxes

i do not object to taxes. let me make that clear right at the outset... i like taxes.. i mean, without taxes, no clean water, no roads, no universities, no space stations, but i digress. what i strenuously dislike(again, not object to) is the presence of such a complicated tax system.. something has been mentioned on this, that is the necessity of a complicated tax structure as the government grows ever so bigger and more amorphous. sure, sure, Render unto Caesar the things which are Caesar’s , but would caesar be happy with one third of the rice from my fields? so much nicer than filling out form 1040, attaching schedule NR, W and 1, and calculating the adjusted gross income...

frankly, this is too much trouble for what little they pay me, and what they take away from it.
