I feel the same about all the "boutique" tax credits like volunteer firefighters, teachers, etc. These things all make the tax code more complicated, make filing increasingly onerous, and provide nearly no benefit to citizens.

Well ya, that's what we are saying. Make it a flat refund and be done with it. The receipts and auditing are dumb. I guess getting rid of it gives me the same refund as I get now, which is zero. So sure, get rid of it I guess.
We should keep all the discounts the top 1% get though, those are essential to keeping them here creating trickle downs for the rest of us plebs.
