I'm not really complaining here so much about paying taxes per se or what they are used for. What's upsetting is how complex it can get if you decided to start your own business. And don't get me started on all the crazy tax exemptions/deductions/credits out there. I was reading ones for my home state (Virginia) tomight, and there's some kind of credit for increasing "port volume" thru Virginia sea ports. It's no doubt justified as some form of "social engineering", but it looks suspiciously like some form of corruption. The tax system shouldn't be this complicated.
