Levin has stated taxes should be paid within a few weeks of the elections, this in itself would help to keep any federal taxes low, April 15th was chosen as a tax day as it is one of the furthest days from election days, Mark Levin’s idea would reverse that...

Levin has stated taxes should be paid within a few weeks of the elections

Quoting from Mark's proposed amendment: SECTION 2: The deadline for filing federal income tax returns shall be the day before the date set for elections to federal office. (Page 75 in the book.)

Brilliant.

No.

Levin proposes that federal taxes be paid the day before election day.

I disagree. The intent for having the income tax paid on April 15 was to give each taxpayer 4.5 months to get the books in balance and calculate the just due. Look at business with other than calendar fiscals years and you'll see this interval repeated.

Want to get the payment of the tax more in line with the elections? Force all the citizens to go onto a July fiscal year instead of a January fiscal year. That will make the tax bill fall on November 15.
