Is simplifying the tax code enough?

Today President Barack Obama has made several statements in relation to simplifying our tax code. These comments came in light of today's file or else tax deadline. My question today is; is it enough to appease the American people? With various so-called tea parties running rampant across the nation. Will simplifying the tax code be enough to douse the flame?

Obama said at a White House event Wednesday that he's working toward "a simpler tax code that rewards work and the pursuit of the American dream." He went on to say, "For too long, we've seen taxes used as a wedge to scare people into supporting policies that increased the burden on working people instead of helping them live their dreams," Obama said. "That has to change, and that's the work that we've begun."

The president noted that he's asked his economic advisers to thoroughly review how to simplify the tax code and report back to him by year's end. By years end are you crazy? That's right before the next tax season, leaving him & us little time to thoroughly review such complicated measures.

The president incidently admits this later stating, "We need to simplify a monstrous tax code that is far too complicated for most Americans to understand, but just complicated enough for the insiders who know how to game the system,"

He added: "It will take time to undo the damage of years of carve-outs and loopholes. But I want every American to know that we will rewrite the tax code so that it puts your interests over any special interest. And we will make it quicker, easier, and less expensive for you to file a return, so that April 15 is not a date that is approached with dread each year."

I got a fair tax for you President Obama. Impose a fair tax on international trade and domestically purchased goods. A universal federal/state tax that does not vary from state to state. One flat rate clean across the board. That way there would be no such thing as tax evasion. That along with this fake war on drugs are merely additional methods of incarcerating your own fellow citizens. The ultimate slap in the face is that we are not suppose to be taxed on our income anyway! My last question is: Is it fair that ultimate slap will continue?
