[olug] Tax Software Opinions

Right a flat tax won't work but a fair tax might.  Basically it gives no exclusions period.  At the federal level I've read that we need to pay in something like 25%  and around 5% locally.  With no more breaks, the system becomes much easier to maintain.  Overall taxes go down for everyone.... and all of the other taxes like sales tax fuel tax hotel tax, etc go away,  lowering everyone's overall tax burden.

But that is not really the point of this group, is it?

Simply instituting a flat tax rate won't help. The exchange of "how much did
you make" "look that up" "ok, you owe us this much" doesn't take very long.
What takes a while is all the exclusions, tax credits, and tax breaks. "You
had 3 kids, take this break. Oh, but one of them was in college? Well, that
cancels out one of them. Another one is permanently disabled and depends on
you? That's another break." Etcetera.
