In an unexpected twist of events that has left political commentators with an uncharacteristic lack of snarky quips, Democrats and Republicans have banded together in a show of unprecedented unity to overhaul the nation's taxation laws. The bipartisan bill, which has been hailed as the most significant legislative achievement in recent history, promises to revolutionize the way Americans file their taxes, contribute to the national debt, and engage in heated kitchen table debates.
The bill, named the "Harmonious American Revenue Empowerment Act" (HARE Act), was introduced by the unlikely duo of Senator Sunny Side and Representative Steadfast Stalemate, who, in a joint press conference, declared that the act was "a testament to our shared American values of fiscal responsibility, integrity, and the pursuit of happiness... especially the happiness that comes from not owing the IRS thousands of dollars on April 15th."
Under the HARE Act, Americans will now be taxed based on a complex algorithm that takes into account their social media activity, the number of selfies they post annually, and their participation in online petitions. "It's only fair," explained Senator Sunny Side, who claimed that the algorithm would provide a "more equitable" distribution of tax burdens. "If you're out there advocating for the right to have your own shade of lavender, you should contribute accordingly."
The legislation also introduces a new tax bracket for individuals who fail to laugh at political memes, and another for those who still use flip phones. Additionally, tax deductions have been revamped to include a "Family Fun Night" credit for families that watch less than three hours of reality TV per week, and a "Civic Engagement" credit for individuals who volunteer to staff phone banks for political campaigns, regardless of their affiliation.
Perhaps the most controversial aspect of the HARE Act is the creation of a "National Unity Fund," which will be financed by a surtax on anyone caught using the phrase "partisan bickering." The funds are earmarked for a series of cross-partisan retreats where elected officials will be forced to play team-building games, such as three-legged races and trust falls, until they can successfully pass a bill without anyone throwing a stapler.
While the HARE Act has been met with widespread applause from the public, some critics have voiced concerns that the new tax system could lead to an invasion of privacy and a government that's "too involved in our personal lives." However, proponents argue that this is a small price to pay for the kind of bipartisan harmony that could lead to a new era of American prosperity, where tax season is celebrated with parades, confetti, and the national anthem played on accordions.
As the HARE Act moves through the legislative process, Democrats and Republicans have already begun drafting a sequel to address the national deficit, which, according to insiders, will be funded by a tax on politicians who refuse to shave their beards during the summer months.
