when all was said and done, I ended up paying 3-point-something percent in federal taxes. That was without cheating/lying or actively seeking out any sort of tax shelter of any sort.
The ONE thing that i would like to see is a drastic simplification of the tax system. I mean drastic. A straight graduated scale with basically no deductions other than the number of people that income is supporting. Period. (A pipe dream, I know... but I think still reasonable to wish for. On the other hand I think the generalized whine-fest over taxes every year is pathetic.)
