I'm ok with this. We've both outlined the reasons for our differing perspectives on a progressive tax system particularly the one used here in the US. It's far too easily obstructed and cumbersome. Albeit online tax services aid in filling out tax forms, but they overlook many deductions a qualified tax advisor could find. The tax code shouldn't be something so complicated the average American can't understand it.
