Not necessarily. There's no way to radically alter the tax code overnight. Just ain't gonna happen. You can make it flatter, and simpler. That would be a good thing. Don't make the perfect the enemy of the good (and it's only perfect in your head, anyway.)
As was done in 1986. How flat and simple did it stay and for how long?
welcome to the “my way or the highway” (FT) tax advocates. It’s pointless to even discuss it.
“Don’t make the perfect the enemy of the good (and it’s only perfect in your head, anyway.)”
It’s not perfect, but it’s the only way I’ll accept Federal taxation as not violating the Fourth Amendment.
The IRS needs to go, and people need to be able to pay their taxes without onerous paperwork.
The Fair Tax plan neatly accomplishes both objectives, with only more upside as far as I can tell. Perhaps once people see the cost of government rolled into every purchase, they’ll be more interested in smaller government.
