Re:FTC sues Intuit for its deceptive TurboTax “free” filing ... by imtringued on Wednesday March 30, 2022 @04:53AM (#30852828)
That's highly ineffective and ultimately pointless. I don't want income taxes to be abolished because I think taxation is wrong. I want them to be abolished because there are better taxes than income taxes cause dead weight losses in the economy and tell people to work less than they want.

Abolishing income tax because it is hard to file is quite absurd. You can have a flat percentage income tax and then you wouldn't have to file. Then you could implement an automatic deduction via tax credits ala Milton's negative income tax. For me that would be an acceptable compromise if my goal was simplifying taxes.
