It's clear that the current U.S. tax codes pose challenges to not only ordinary citizens but also to the IRS itself, creating unnecessary complications, particularly in the realm of itemized tax deductions. These deductions have often been exploited as a means to dodge taxes, resulting in the bulk of the tax burden resting on the shoulders of those earning between $60,000 and $100,000 per year.

We propose several changes to alleviate this burden and streamline tax code efficiency:
1. Complete removal of itemized deductions.
2. Increase the standard deduction to $20,000 per person.
3. Provide a standard deduction for children, replacing the existing child credit.
4. Discontinue Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) and Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs).

These adjustments are projected to lighten the tax burden for middle-class families, decrease the number of IRS audits performed, and aid the economy by generating an environment more conducive to financial growth and stability. We urge lawmakers to seriously consider these changes. Please sign this petition to voice your support for simpler and more equitable fiscal policies.
