    It should be super simple… We have all the math to make it happen, just take the correct amount out of people’s checks and leave them the fuck alone.

    Don’t put your hand in my pocket 26 times in a year then come to me at the end and go “(Blush), sorry, I took too much/too little.”

    Take the right amount, leave me the fuck alone.

      Isn’t this how it works for most people with a W2? It only gets complicated when you start adding dependents or starting side businesses.

        Not if you take any form of assistance, make any purchases for a business/education, get income from multiple places, work in multiple states, have health insurance, or even received tax credit from a previous year where the government took too much.
