This is a tangential issue (consumer vs corporate tax), but the US tax system is beyond ridiculous. In the socialist democracy where I live, doing my taxes is literally a no-op. It just fixes itself (with a possibility for me to submit correct numbers if the govt. calculated ones are wrong.)

If you think U.S. personal taxes are ridiculous (and they are), consider small business taxes. The Schedule C drags in all kinds of craziness, many worksheets don't even get filed but you have to do them to get the number on the form right. And then 1120S? That was the form I gave up on and hired a CPA.

I need S-expressions to parse question 8 on that form.

Agreed - why they don't use a PAYG/PAYE system is crazy.
