It will never be reformed.
Remember that saying from “Risky Business”.....”Never F with another man’s livelihood.”
And we have a WINNER!!
There will no tax reform as long as politicians, of both parties, continue to use the tax code as a way to raise money.
Remember the two major lusts of any politician - personal power and money. Without any money there can be no re-elections hence the lust for personal power goes unquenched.
I doubt we will ever see an organization like AA for politicians to wean them off their uncontrollable lusts.
Here is one way we can start. States collect Federal withholdings like an escrow. When Fedzilla starts getting uppity (take amnesty for instance), the state does not release the funds. The states need to hold fedzilla at bay and protect their citizens, “escrow” would be a way to start starving the fed and get it back in line with doing only what it was Constitutionally created to do.
