I am a CFP and CPA (nonpracticing) and am overwhelmed with the complexity of the tax code. I'm surprised anyone can complete their own return. The variety of retirement plans 401(k), SEP, Simple (haha), IRA (deductible, non-deductible and ROTH) confuses professionals like myself, it's a no wonder that people don't participate, they are totally confused. Repeal the tax code and replace it with a consumption based tax; preferably one where the taxpayer can see daily how much they are sending to Washington.
