Transparency is necessary, but not sufficient. Simplicity is also required. The tax code is public, but I believe it is crap. Open source code is open, but I hazard to guess most of it is crap.

Thus it is my belief that the government should be for the people, not for the most powerful and rich, and thus should enforce requirements of simplicity. Taxes should be simple. Corporate structures should be simple. Voting systems and districting should be simple. Anything which is not simple should be urged (somehow) to become (more) simple.

Sure, "simple" is a subjective and relative thing no doubt. And it can be a double-edged banana since some things actually do need to be complex if they are going to be solved. But for the most part I think we should push to err even egregiously on the side of requiring simplicity.
