#4About half of Americans pay no effective tax anyway, why not set a threshold say 100k a year and if you are under it you owe no federal taxes and don't have to file anything. Can make up the difference by taxing capital gains at the same rate as W2 income.

Plus congress wants the poor idiots who vote republican to feel like taxes are a punishment otherwise how will they whip up their base.
