Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

I'm OK keeping the income tax, just make it so people don't have to do paperwork every year.
My salary is $144,000, I have a wife and a $2,048/mo. mortgage.
Plug that into a spreadsheet, figure out the correct amount to take out of my paycheck, and leave me the hell alone.
We have formulas and software to do this, it shouldn't be complicated.
We make it complicated in the name of allowing people to do small scale tax evasion.
You can start a business, buy a car, write off part of your mortgage, part of your internet access and one of your phone lines, reducing your amount of tax due by 1/3 of that total amount.
Honestly the new 1040 website for federal is super easy. All the states did that too it would be fine in my book.
it isn't. In the UK where i am all your taxes are deducted from your salary before you're paid. if you overpay you get an automatic rebate at the end of the year. if you're in normal employment you should never have to speak to HMRC, your companies HR do it on your behalf in the rare event something comes up
