Funny because it's haha funny. Funny also with a laugh that includes tears acknowledging how messed up at all is.
Taxes can be simplified for all. Taxes can be fair. Taxes can benefit the multitude.
And for reasons that seems very intentional, no matter how much politicians talk about reform, the system continues to favor the rich and privileged. Those that need help the most continue to get ignored.
So much could be fixed.
So much could be better.
In the Netherlands taxes take about 15 minutes each year. Everything is already calculated, you just have to check if the numbers on your paychecks and mortgage match.
Even better, if you've never did your taxes, you won't have to. But you usually get money back if you do, so there's no reason not to sit down for 15 minutes once a year for a nice chunk of money back.
Yes, I've heard much about such systems. Can't say I haven't envied it from time to time. 😊
Mine take about a week. And last time the tax software and IRS instructions conflicted. I ended up reading about 300 pages from the IRS website and eventually gave up.
