Stossel Season 4 Episode 15 Death by Taxes 2013
From John Stossel's blog: Liberals are fond of quoting Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes who said, "taxes are what we pay for a civilized society"---but at the time taxes were just 10% of GDP. Now they are triple that. Is that civilization or theft? Texas Congressman Louie Gohmert says the current tax code is just too complicated. He wants the current code scraped---and replaced with a flat tax. American economic growth has stalled. Scott Hodge, the president of the Tax Foundation says America's hefty 70,000 page federal tax code is largely to blame. John Merline, a writer at Investor's Business Daily, says ObamaCare is a tax too---a complicated one. It's so complicated that H&R Block made this disgusting commercial about how they can help you with ObamaCare. The actress's grin infuriates me. Some in the IRS apparently think taking our money is funny.
