#221: Outdated Tax Code Crushing @@NAME@@? [Padosistan; ed:Reploid Productions]

The Issue
Over the years, the government's tax code has become a headache-inducing tangle. Recently a prominent tax official was crushed to death under the weight of a complete copy of the tax code falling on his head. As a result, taxes are higher than ever and an unlikely alliance of taxpayers, businesses, and government officials are demanding something be done to fix the situation.

The Debate
1. "We've got to put a stop to this before more lives are lost, like mine!" says @@RANDOMNAME@@, the new head of the @@NAME@@ Revenue Agency, indicating the search and rescue crew armed with paper shredders. "We need to abandon all our tax codes and protocols and begin anew! It's drastic, I know, and it will mean chaos in the bureaucracy, but at least the people could enjoy a tax break!"

2. "It's true that something has got to be done about the tax code, but it doesn't need to be an all-or-nothing decision!" proclaims @@RANDOMNAME@@, spokesperson of the Alliance of @@NAME@@ Businesses and Industry. "Just cut bloated government programs like welfare and health and education, and give everybody a tax break. Just make sure you leave those business subsidies alone, alright? After all, we need all the help we can get to remain competitive without sacrificing people's jobs!"

3. "If anything is bloated about the taxes and how our money is spent, it's those business subsidies!" rages @@RANDOMNAME@@, a concerned and rather irate citizen. "If you ask me, the government needs to cut the corporate welfare for these rich bigwigs! Cut the average guy a tax break, and keep the programs that benefit the people, not big business!"
