Actually, root canals are over rated as far as pain. I have had 3 or 4, and - as with taxes - the results have been positive.
Then again, I was only figuring on ONE persons share of the national debt. I still have two in the family (wife and I), so I suppose I owe double that.
Seriously, I have no problems with taxes. I do get frustrated for maybe one day a year after doing the paperwork, and I really dislike my accountants bill, which would buy a nice sailboat each year.
So, yeah, I'd be in support of a simplified system - but I have another angle which, luckily, I can now pursue (kids though college). It is simply making less money and therefore owing less to both the accountant and the government.
Now, if we want to talk about unpleasant things - or at least what I consider so - it is flying cross country in a crowded southwest plane (737, too damn small for that long of a flight).
