America's Tax Code Is A Hot Mess.

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

70% : Furthermore, this array of tax breaks (and the complexity they embed into the code) has opened the door to taxpayer errors and mischief, resulting in $625 billion tax gap (the difference between what is owed in taxes for a given tax year and the amount that is paid on time).
66% : Tax day is upon us, and millions of Americans are scrambling to finish their returns on time by navigating one of the most illogical, unfair, and confusing tax systems in the world -- the federal tax code.
53% : No-file tax systems around the world are becoming increasingly reliant on taxpayers filing additional informative, would cost tens of billions to put into place, and would be accurate at for less than half of taxpayers (and virtually all inaccuracies would likely result in higher tax bills for individual taxpayers).
