Former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty on Tuesday proposed a simple solution to fixing the nation's incomprehensible tax system: Require members of Congress to do their own.
"No help of an accountant, a lawyer or a tax specialist," he said in an interview on ABC's "Good Morning America."
"And if they can't do it, we give them a certification they can go get some help. But I'd like every one of those individuals to have to do their own taxes every year and live with the mindless burdens we put on the American people."
Pawlenty lamented that he recently filled out a W-9 that had four pages of instructions for a half-page form.
