I came across my grand parent's first tax return from 1941, the first year of the tax system we now endure. It was one page on one side only. The tax rate was a flat 3%. It was titled "Taxes to Fight the Axis". I kid you not. In 1943 they changed the name on the tax form to what we have now.
So a simple form with a flat 3% tax with no allowed deductions has morphed into all this crap we call required by law today. I say start over.
