Today is April 15th, one of the worst days of the year for Americans. It’s the day that the tax man comes calling. If you’re lucky, you’re getting a refund. If not, you owe the government. The problem, of course, is the tax code. Taking up over 57,000 pages, the taxcode is altered yearly. Pieced together and never built with a cohesive, all-encompassing forethought, it is filled with complications and confusion.

Clearly, the tax system in this country needs to be rebuilt. Ground up. Simplified. I, for one, support the idea of a flat tax, but I understand that some call that regressive, so I’m open to ideas. Something needs to happen though.

In the comments below, sound off on your feelings on the tax system in the U.S. Comments will only be moderated if things get too personal or hateful, but otherwise, I’m staying out. This is your time to be heard, and I guarantee, this post is being watched by politicians, and media organizations. Around the nation, today, the Taxpayer Teaparty movement is also occurring. While, I share some of the concerns and motives of the Teaparty movement, this action is not to be construed as associated with that movement.

With that said, the mic is now open.
