61% Favor Simpler Tax Code, But Have Doubts About Flat Tax Plans

I believe that elected politicians fear Flat Tax and alternatives because it removes their freedom to use revenue for vote buying.
For the last 80 years, starting with Roosevelt and Keynes, the government has been in the mode of spending borrowed money to stimulate economies without plausible evidence that it is effective. The only things are measurable are the human needs, this is the money that is spent and the queue for money hoped for application. The needs of humans are ever expanding, humans will take whatever is given to them regardless of cost to community.
The victim, tax payers, including business.

As candidates, Democrats and Republicans alike, defile tax revisions as a way of demonizing opponents.
This is plainly apparent in the way brother Republicans are treating Herman's 999.
Instill doubt in the voter with regards to your opponent and reap the benefits of negative campaigning.
The victim, tax payers, the capacity for change is crippled, we are stuck with trying to modify a system that at its core is corrupt.
Garbage in yields garbage out.

I do not believe in abolishing the IRS. Tax collectors have been the tagged as evil since the beginning of time, but they are necessary because there are always people who seek to avoid paying taxes. I do believe that there needs to be a tax system reset and I believe that the simpler the system, the more transparent the actions and intents of politicians will be.
