I’m confused. I’d be in favor of eliminating all the phony special interest deductions in exchange for a lower rate on all taxpayers that did not raise total taxes collectied by the Gubmint. That’s called a Flat tax and all conservatives should consider supporting that. How is this different. Why couldn’t they eliminate the airplane, ethanol, oil deduction and simultaneously lower the tax rate on all companies by say 1% (whatever it takes to break-even). The government breaks even (no new taxes) but it’s more efficient and less need to pay lawyers and accountants. This isn’t bad if that’s what happens (Is everybody worried they’ll lie and just drop the deductions without simultaneously lowering the rate—Is that the issue?)
I understand you.
But most people don’t.
We need a flat tax so we do not get manipulated any more.
I bet I am the only one to respond to you because it is too hard to under stand.
You and I live for consevative politics but to most people it is hard to understand voodoo.
