Our view argues the Senate approved an IRS reform bill that is largely symbolic and unlikely to ease taxpayer burdens. The piece notes potential benefits like an independent appeals process and higher damages rights, but criticizes limited scope, centralization plans, and continued tax code complexity. It cites J D Quisenberry’s warnings, calls for genuine simplification, and stresses Congress bears responsibility for the code’s complexity.
