our tax code is the financial equivalent of trying to navigate a bomber over Berlin in 1943. It's insanely complex and there's a hundred things working both for and against you, and the whole time you're just hopin

It's not all that complex. It's pretty exhaustive and long. The Code sections themselves, though, arent all that complex. The grey areas that get litigated don't matter to 99.9 percent of the population. He income tax is probably the most efficient and fair way to determine if things are being spread around "fairly".
