If the government was doing what its charter instructed it to do, i.e. The US Constitution, we wouldn't be here. The reason we need these tax schemes (that are now longer than the Bible) is that it has gone way too far. Going further is not the answer.

We have a progressive tax code where the wealthier pay more, but that's not good enough for you.

We need a whole lot less government right now, not more money funneled into it.
