Here in the US, people have to do their own taxes. But in other countries, the government does your taxes for you so it's straightforward and easy. Should people have to do their own taxes or should the government step in to help out?

I think it's imperative for a free society for everyone to know how and why they are being taxed. Therefore, I am for individuals filing their own taxes, painful as it is.

But I believe the real problem is that Congress has made the American system so complicated in the first place.

I saw a friend's dad's actual federal income tax return from the 1950's. It was essentially a postcard that said "What was your income? Multiply that by xxx percent, and send us a check for that amount." Not hard at all. The instructions were on the back.
