FACTS/OPINIONS:
1. OUR FOUNDING FATHERS HATED A GOV'T THAT COULD ACT QUICKLY. As a result, they decided to make a system that was very effective at being ineffective, albeit, balanced via checks/balances/powers/etc.
2. IN THE PAST TWO DECADES OUR TAX CODE HAS GOTTEN ENTIRELY TOO COMPLICATED/FUCKED UP. Shit desperately neeRAB to be fixed and simplified. It's a true mess.
3. POLITICIANS ONLY CARE ABOUT RE-ELECTIONS. I wouldn't have much hope for progress.
