Americans spend $546 billion trying to figure out their taxes. Because the tax code is 10 million words of incomprehensible legalese. 21 times longer than the Lord of the Rings trilogy. And if you disobey one word they’ll put you in a cage.

Can’t we just eradicate the IRS completely? Replace it with Tariffs and let the people use they’re hard earned money as they see fit. Taxation is Theft/Slavery we are living on a tax farm. I would much rather spend more for products and not have to worry about the corrupt IRS coming after me for a typo. Especially when none of our government agencies could pass an audit including the IRS. End The Fed!  – T3X4N Tweet
