It is social engineering and I have hated since I was a child. I grew up in a family accounting and tax business and have known and followed the rules for many years. It made me contemptuous of voluntary honesty so that I reasoned, and still hold as one of my core values, that you do whatever you can get away with.
No. The law is so complex and convoluted that people with more than a single W2 need the assistance of a fucking computer that is hopefully programmed and operated correctly.
You can't call it Fair Income. Adults in America nad probably elsewhere do not have a favorable view of the word "fair" when it comes to real-life. "Life is not fair." I would try "Equitable Income" policies.
Let's rephrase it then. China has a lot of internal problems that other countries don't have that preclude them from advancing to the point where they can organically control their situation and a global empire.
It has always been a day care center and indoctrination project. Generations of people went through it, saw the value, and didn't really care that it withered away. The centralized institution is a relic that we still cling to out of ignorance and fear. We are finding over and over that distributed, fluid collaboration and loose coupling will lead to the next advances in freedom, human understanding, and prosperity. Information networks are microcosmic representations of natural systems such as our brains. Every tool we fashion is a microcosmic representation or likeness of a macrocosm in nature. Tools keep improving...don't get bent out of shape because we don't need a particular tool (institutionalized schools) any more.
The level of corruption in NYC is unnerving to learn about. I guess regular people can't really afford to live there, and if you do live there you are in on it in some way.
NYC is notoriously corrupt and democrat. Not that it matters. I'm sure republicans have been trying to get their foot in the door for generations. Democrat/Republican, I think most of us here are smart enough to know there is little difference to the average person these days. It is basically a marketing push.
That's what I was thinking. Robert Moses was obsessive about building...why didn't he get involved in subways? Missing details. The answer may be in "Power Broker" either directly or indirectly, but I can't recall now.

Is there a "Do Not Accept" button?
It still puts the task of determining the bill on the payee. You have no point, the OP wins.

It makes the problem worse. Same at work.
We can do that with as sales tax instead of income tax. You would have to stare at the tax paid on each receipt.
Sales tax...paid by retailers and service providers--charged to customers.
Get rid of all this income tax theater.
I'm into fitness...fittin-ess this pizza in my mouth!
"On January 31, 2007, at 8:05 a.m., a passenger spotted one of the devices on a stanchion that supports an elevated section of Interstate 93 "
I can see how things got out of hand at that point. Probably not a good idea to mount one to an overpass support.
You know damn well that would cause complete panic.
It is not a bomb threat. Perhaps you should check with a dictionary?
Terrorism.
Yes. You know it would.

"or children of immigrants."
So...not immigrants.
Most people are in a job that under-utilizes their talent. Institutions are not very good at, or designed, to maximize individual contribution.

World domination?
Where at? I'm a tree worshiper.

You are doing it wrong. Factor in the bribe money and it will get completed in a reasonable time.
