Ridiculous partisan allegation.

You do know that they want to drastically simplify the tax code, correct? From @DOGE itself:

  In 1955, there were less than 1.5 million words in the U.S. Tax Code. 
  Today, there are more than 16 million words.
  Because of this complexity, Americans collectively spend 6.5 billion hours preparing and filing their taxes each year.
  This must be simplified.

What do you think they're proposing instead, specifically? Creating a duplicate tax app? That hardly sounds like a department of government efficiency proposal.

Just about every politician (and they are politicians now) says they want a simpler tax code. Those statements do not appear to correlate with results.
