I wouldn't have near the problem with the US tax system if it were not so purposefully opaque and complex. It is fucking maddening.
A person of average education should be able to navigate their responsibilities, but no, we have spawned a system so labyrinthine that we have a whole class of preparers that have to go back to school every year to keep abreast of the changes.
Being unwilling to pay ones share toward the common good and balking at a setup intentionally crafted to confuse are two entirely different things.
