Am I the only one that is getting majorly burned out. I could just yell at the thought of doing taxes for 23 more days! NNNNNOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!! @$(^#)&^%(*&%#$$^&* :wall:

Not even remotely alone.

>>I would establish term limits: one term in congress and one term in prison.<< I think Illinois has implemented that suggestion. :~) taxbilly

Federal and state term limits, yes, would be good. As a Constitutional Amendment,so they can't easily change it. I'd add, tho, another Constitutional Amendment to require a balanced budget, at the federal level. And no setting aside gazillions of things as 'Off-budget', either. Give them only three years to phase it in, so that they have to use an axe, or maybe a chainsaw, on the size of the government to meet the limits. IT would hurt for a few years, but everyone would adapt to not being able to look to D C for everything. AR is one of the very few states that actually has a budget surplus this year. Why? Because our state Constitution does require balanced budgets. When the lawmakers spend money in Little Rock, they have to set up classifications, A projects get funded first, B projects next, IF THERE IS MONEY FOR THEM, C projects only after the A and B have been paid for, and D only if a miracle comes to pass!!! It works, folks. Just like we do in our own homes, they pay the most important things first, then on down the line, and our kids don't get billed for excessive spending done now.

I would make the tax system more complicated then what it is already, so tax preparers have something to and not get bored I would invent a credit for people who want to work and get rid of the credit that rewards people who don't want because they chose not to.
