It will be tough going finding much of anything to tax, if as Gov. Perry mentioned in the debate (this is all nibbling around the edges), we don’t get people working again.
I agree. It is going to take some fight to get gov’t out of the way, so that we can get some of these jobs back.
I would rather the political capital be spent in that area first (getting gov’t out of the way). After that, I’m with Paul Ryan—I’m more a flat tax kinda gal.
Once the gov’t is cut down to size some, regulations removed—then I would love to see tax debate and reform.
