I’m all about paying my fair share of taxes, but the way our tax laws are set up are utterly asinine, and they’re the way they are because tax prep companies literally spend millions of dollars every year lobbying to keep them complicated, because the complexity is literally the foundational aspect of their entire business model. I am absolutely not going to defend how insane and Byzantine US tax law is, nor should anyone.
Interesting how you don’t

You’re talking about laws. They’re talking about the IRS.
The IRS doesn’t make the laws. They’re an agency like any other, and a very important one.
