Most of the people who live off investment income aren't rich - or at least not in the rich enough to buy Congress category. They're people who've worked (seeing their income taxed once already), saved a bit instead of (over)spending, and are now retired.

Why do you consider it torture? Unless your return is a lot more complicated than mine (which includes Schedule C, D, SSE, and several pages of numbered forms), it's not all that difficult.
