On the recordMay 7, 1998
I think we probably would have to be completely out of touch with the world today to in any way defend our Tax Code as reasonable or common sense. Mr. Speaker, any one of us could send our tax forms to eight different accountants and we would get eight different examples of how we could do our taxes because nobody really knows. We have complicated the dickens out of the code. It does not make sense to any of us and even the experts have a heck of a hard time trying to figure it out. One of the things I think that is especially stupid is the marriage tax penalty; I mean, penalizing people for getting married.
