Half the time? Not quite. Since we have had a tax code, the dems have controlled both houses the majority of the time.bock2911 said:First off, I am not sure if I believe that the Democrats are the only ones responsible for the horribly complex tax code we have right now. I have to say Republicans probably have some responsibility, since about half the time Republicans were the majority in the senate and house. Blaming one instead of both is like blaming everything in WWII to Hitler but ignoring what Japan also did.
However, I will grant you the GOP has had a hand in the tax code... primarily because if they didn't fight for some of the exemptions, etc. that make the tax code so complex, many of us would be paying a lot more in taxes and therefore, the economy would be hurting. The GOP was forced to introduce complex tax bills to try and offset the dem's penchant for trying to tax anything and everything.
