Happy new year, now do your tax.

I don't know about you but I just hate when it come time to do the tax. It's just a nightmare. Look, there are people that make theirs living just by helping us do our taxes. Why do we have to put up with this! Why won't there be simpler system to pay tax instead of all these mysterious tax questions, credits, deductions, dependents, records, receipts, 1099s, w2, etc Worst this year, I think I will get hit with the AMT tax. If you don't know what AMT tax is you better learn about it now before it too late. In a nutshell, everyone is suppose to figure out two taxes. One regular tax and one AMT tax and pay whichever higher. I think we should get rid of AMT tax. The only reason I think why the government want to keep it so they can basically rob more of our hard earned money. I know there are software that make filing tax a lot easier, but our tax system to me is too complicated. You shouldn't need to spend more than a day to do your taxes. And you shouldn't need a computer and software to do it either. What worst you get to buy different version every year. Why can there be a simpler system so we can do away with the tax forms. We're living in the computer age, and yet we still need to figure out at the end of the year if we pay too much or too little taxes!! Do away with tax credits and deductions and just pay a fix tax percentage for everyone. That is what I think we should do. So I assume there must be good reason not to change our current tax system, and I guess it has to do with money. Somehow, somewhere, someone just can't afford to give up robing us our time and money. What do you think. Am I overreacting?
