      Sounds like we could fix that too.

      My point is, it doesn’t have to be “income tax”, it could be its own, much more painful tax.

      (Who am I kidding, enough senators live off this stuff too.)

        Taxes are not supposed to be painful. They are supposed to be fair and fund the government. Painful taxes just causes avoidance.

            That’s the difference between tax avoidance and tax evasion. Avoidance is legal, evasion is not.

            Tax avoidance isn’t a crime.

            Do you use deductions on your 1040? That’s tax avoidance.
