LOL what a bunch of simple minded idiots, skip this garbage. Libertarianism doesn't work, there would be no paved roads, no working street lights, no clean water, just freedom for a libertarian to try and lower the age of consent, because it always comes back to that with those people, inevitably.
Plot summary
Albert Einstein once wrote, "The hardest thing in the world to understand is the income tax." The product of 95 years worth of additions, subtractions, deductions, and exclusions, it has become such a headache that many are calling for it to be drastically simplified or even removed all together. With a looming fiscal crisis on the horizon, April 15th seems more like a scene from a B-Horror horror movie than a day to contribute to the common good of the nation. Political favoritism, ineffective social programs, and economic manipulations all reveal the need for tax reform. But how can Americans decide the best way to change the income tax when few people even understand the code or the vast extent to which it truly affects the country? An Inconvenient Tax explores the history of the income tax and brings to light the causes of its many complexities. The film follows the tax through wars, economic booms, and some of the most significant presidencies in U.S. history. To help crack the code, the film employs the country's top economic experts, commentators, and political voices. Noam Chomsky, Steve Forbes, Joseph Thorndike, Mike Huckabee, Charles Rossotti, Dave M. Walker, Neal Boortz, Michael Graetz, Daniel Shaviro, Leonard Burman, and others discuss not only the problems America faces in the tax code, but also give valuable insights on how to move forward. Finally, the film gives a voice to the creators of several tax reform solutions who claim to have found a better way. In a time when many Americans are concerned about the future of the economy, rising deficits, and unfair tax treatment, "An Inconvenient Tax" provides a crucial, honest look at the income tax. For the first time ever, Americans can engage in the tax debate with confidence and perhaps discover a new way to tax.

Interesting topic, terrible execution
Interesting topic, amazing access to all sorts of experts such as Steve Forbes, but ruined by a constant barrage of animations and irrelevant film footage. You would get 20 seconds of an interesting interview followed up by 10 seconds of a cartoon or irrelevant "funny" footage, followed up by another 20 seconds which is starting to be interesting, then some more stock footage. It totally ruins the flow.

An establishment view of tax issues
Briefly featured in this documentary is Noam Chomsky, his comment toward the the end of the film about people paying into a democratic society for a common cause as a positive, is a vastly underrepresented viewpoint in this work. We get abundance of Mike Huckabee masquerading as an economic expert. On the other hand this is an intelligently put together film, but with a decidedly establishment, pro wealthy agenda. Not addressed much is the actual definition of what would be considered a fair tax system, and how each part of the population benefits from it. Considerable time in this documentary to the point of advocacy goes into a consumption tax as a fair solution. Again the fairness not well explained, for a tax policy that would favor the wealthy. Among many taxes mentioned is the inheritance tax, which persons in the film refer to as the death tax, going unchecked without an alternate point of view. This film has a pro wealthy, pro establishment viewpoint, with smartly woven editing for it's deceptive agenda. Though I don't think it would pass the smell test to many progressives
