Income tax

I am finishing up my income tax return.  Unlike Trump, I don’t cheat.  Unlike Trump, I am willing to make my returns public.  Unlike Trump, I actually pay income tax.  

It bugs me that a whole industry has sprung up to figure out people’s taxes.  If the tax laws were written simply and clearly, anyone who has a calculator and the ability to read should be able to figure out her or his taxes without going to H&R Block or hiring a CPA.  Oh, wait.  I forgot that this is the United States where lobbyists write the tax legislation and deliberately make things complicated.
