I would gladly match my tax prep fee with a donation to the counter-lobby, if one existed. Where can I buy tax-complexity-offsets?

I work for the Tax Foundation, a nonpartisan tax policy think tank. As a 501(c)3 we're not allowed to lobby, but we do work hard to show legislators the benefits of taxes that are simple, transparent, neutral, and stable.

Thank you for the work you do. I disagree with the principle of neutrality because I support Pigouvian taxation. But we could use a lot more of the other three.

Senator Warren has introduced bills in the past to simplify the tax filing process. I'll let you do the homework to figure out for which party you should vote to help this kind of legislation pass.

The two (D)s on the top of that bill means it goes nowhere for at least 2 years, and probably 4. It won't even get to the floor of the House.
