My System

The tax code is not to collect funds, it's to provide jobs to tax lawyers, tax preparers, and the overbloated IRS.

My solution:

If you are 18 or older --> 10% total income to Federal, 5% total income to state, 3% total income to FICA/SSI. No deductions, no shelters, no write-offs, no EIC, no exeptions. Period. Done.

If you are under 18 --> 0% Federal, 0% State, 3% FICA/SSI.

No more filing taxes, the set percentages come out of your check. Reduce the IRS by 60%, put the tax preparers out of business (maybe they'll move to a more usefull endeavor).
