Everyone complains about taxes. Nobody fixes the system.
Not because it can’t be fixed—because confusion benefits the people who run it.
So let’s walk through what happens when you drop The Faust Baseline into the IRS.
1. A Translation Layer the Public Can Actually Read
Don’t change the laws.
Don’t rewrite the tax code.
Just force clarity.
Every notice, every rule, every explanation gets passed through a Baseline Filter:
– Plain language
– No loophole phrasing
– No double meanings
– No fear-based wording
– No “interpretation drift” between departments
Same law.
Different delivery.
And suddenly the citizen isn’t standing in the fog anymore.
2. An IRS Assistant That Treats Citizens Like Adults
People don’t need miracles—they need clean explanations.
A Baseline-driven IRS could tell you:
“This is what the notice means.
This is what it does not mean.
These are your actual options.”
Not fear-mail.
Clarity-mail.
Imagine the nationwide stress reduction from just that alone.
3. Audit Fairness and Accountability
The Baseline forces consistency.
No more:
– “This agent interprets it differently.”
– “That office uses another meaning.”
– “You’re punished because someone read the rule the strict way today.”
With the Baseline in place, the system must match itself.
Same question → same meaning → same outcome.
That’s how you eliminate the quiet unfairness nobody can prove but everybody feels.
4. Long-Term Social Impact
Here’s the real shift:
– People fear the IRS less
– Fewer predatory “tax fixers”
– Less mental strain
– Higher trust in the system
– Citizens who understand the rules governing their lives
– A government forced to speak plainly, not hide behind legal fog
This isn’t rebellion.
It’s reform through clarity.
Drop The Faust Baseline into the IRS mainframe, and the machinery doesn’t collapse.
It straightens.
Because once clarity enters the room, confusion loses its power.
And that’s when a society becomes healthier—
not when the laws change,
but when the people finally understand them.
The Faust Baseline has now been upgraded to Codex 2.4 …(the newest).
