Turbo Tax Tim and Me

so some asshat is making fun of the fact that i think the tax code is too complicated.

what's wrong with this picture?
as i point out, turbo tax timmy, our treasury secretary, couldn't figure out that he owed taxes. he tried to blame it on turbo tax. if you look at that link, you'll see that turbo tax is made by a company called intuit. intuit has over 8000 employees. i figure on top of the computer people, they've got some accountants to tell them how things work. let's say 10% - so 800 accountants couldn't figure out the tax code. how the hell are you and i?

btw, i use another intuit product, quick books, for my plumbing business. it's because of quick books, that i thought i'd owe more taxes when i bought the business. which led me to asking obama that question. which led to me becoming famous. so if you don't like me, you can blame intuit.

let's make the tax code easier. flat tax all around. no exemptions.
and let's keep jobs in America by raising import taxes. it'll encourage companies to make stuff in the USA, instead of china or mexico, which in turn, will create more jobs.
