Maybe it’s time for significant tax reform. Maybe the flat tax Steve Forbes proposed in 1996 should be start?
Better luck waving a cross in front of a vampire and thus giving them religion.
Tax reform would be a great issue for Republicans to champion since people and businesses both hate the tax code. So I guess there’s virtually no chance of this happening. LOL
The self-destructive GOP rarely misses an opportunity to fail the American people. They are stuck on stupid.
My Enrolled Agent Conservative friend is a realist. This is my interpretation but the Oinker's (my term) on K-Street and the House and Senate love doling out the goodies in the code. As she said, Fair Tax never, In her humble Opinion a Flat Tax as an optional form to all your forms where you file a "X" percent with no deductions is the only way for a Flat Tax to gain traction.
So my Solution, an alternative form 15% Flat, Make Cap Gains 15% again equal to Div's and make Corp. Taxes 15% flat no b.s. but it may get sticky with depleation allowances and yes I haven't thought it through.
With everything @ " 15% " we set a new bar that everyone has to meet. IMHO Business would flock here faster than..... something about a tin horn :-)...
