I'm not a anarchist, but I am a libertarian of sorts, so I also want small government, limited social engineering, and limited central planning. I don't care if it is flat or mildly progressive if it's simple to implement. There certainly are reasons others want to keep things status quo, as you pointed out. There is just so much wasted energy around taxes it drives me crazy.

Taxes don't have to be this complicated and loophole filled. Almost any scheme you can think of would be better. A flat tax would be fine and save us so much grief.
