You don't want me all up in your business... don't take my money.
I agree with your sentiment. But it is like much in life, everyone wants the "other guy" to be subject to those rules. How many oil companies want those rules applied to them? They lobby hard and receive huge tax subsidies ... yet turn around and argue they are only responsible to shareholders interests.
Farmers demand subsidies yet scream about all of the other welfare programs. And they don't want you "all up in their business". They would be quick to tell you that they are an independent business, how hard it is, and that they must have the farm subsidies.
Heck, I am even guilty. I navigate the tax code for a living. So on some level, I don't think I want it simplified. I probably want it even more complex.
Too often, we all only see things from our own skewed perspective. It is darn easy to be a hypocrit without even trying.
