A Socialist would be happy to go back to 400. I could do it in four.In 1913, we had 400 pages of Federal Tax Code.
In 2011, we evolved to 72,435 pages.
It started with a theft of liberty from a tiny group of the wealthiest Americans. Today we have a monster only Socialists could love; one aimed at thieving, redistributing and wasting massive amounts of wealth. Wealth that would be better left in the hands of those that earned it.
So if it could be done in four pages, why does it take 72,435? Answer: Because its not about collection, its about control. The state doesn't want to just redistribute wealth, it wants to control how its earned, how its allocated, how its invested, how its spent, when its spent, where its spent and on whom it is spent.A Socialist would be happy to go back to 400. I could do it in four.
And you make it here, you pay up for what's required to do so here.
A state wanted control? Say it ain't so.So if it could be done in four pages, why does it take 72,435? Answer: Because its not about collection, its about control. The state doesn't want to just redistribute wealth, it wants to control how its earned, how its allocated, how its invested, how its spent, when its spent, where its spent and on whom it is spent.
The U.S. controls very little of any of those things.So if it could be done in four pages, why does it take 72,435? Answer: Because its not about collection, its about control.

Oh... a Socialist would ideally love one page, but what we have is what happens when Socialism perverts a free society and do not have totalitarian rule.A Socialist would be happy to go back to 400. I could do it in four.

The real problem with the code is that nobody wants to take the time to go through it and make it more efficient (or fair). It's so long because people have added so many stupid exceptions and exemptions, and then more taxes have been added to make up for the lost revenue, and then more exceptions and exemptions, and then more taxes, etc. etc. etc. back and forth forever.
I like it but I see no reason for a cap and I like to include everyone so they can all complain alike.I could make it much shorter.
1. You don't pay any taxes on your first $25,000 of income.
2. You pay 20% on all income 25,000-200,000
3. You pay 50% of everything from 200,000 to 1 million
4. Cap income at 2 million dollars.

10% on the first 100,000. Then 20% on the next, then 30, 40, up to 50%. So over 500,000 it's always 50%, make as much as you like.

25% of your proposal is sane, and I can make it even shorter.
1. You don't pay any taxes on your first $25,000 of income.
2. You pay 10% on any income thereafter.
Why should success be punished?
This would get rid of a huge swath of tax advisers, lobbyists, and migraines... plus it would unleash investment and employment.
It would be the death of Socialism at the Federal level, and I'd say at the state level as well, as punitive states would look like the Sahara.
