Many Americans filling out their income tax returns are appalled by the large amount of earnings taken by the government. The income tax is also appalling from a civil liberties perspective because of its inequity, complexity, and intrusiveness. While President Bush cut taxes, the tax code remains a monument to social engineering run amok.
